Gonococcal invasion into epithelial cells depends on both cell polarity and ezrin.
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) establishes infection in women from the cervix, lined with heterogeneous epithelial cells from non-polarized stratified at the ectocervix to polarized columnar at the endocervix.

Generation of corneal epithelial cells from induced pluripotent stem cells derived from human dermal fibroblast and corneal limbal epithelium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can be established from somatic cells. However, there is currently no established strategy to generate corneal epithelial cells from iPS cells.

CD95/Fas protects triple negative breast cancer from anti-tumor activity of NK cells
iScience, 2021 Summary: The apoptosis inducing receptor CD95/Fas has multiple tumorigenic activities. In different genetically engineered mouse models tumor-expressed CD95 was shown to be critical for cell growth.
