CD95/Fas protects triple negative breast cancer from anti-tumor activity of NK cells
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.

Immunocompetence in Hydra. Epithelial cells recognize self-nonself and react against it [PDF]
The evolution of effective immunologic defense mechanisms in multicellular organisms involves the ability of host cells to distinguish betweeen self and nonself and to react appropriately to eliminate foreign tissue.

Function and mechanisms of T cells in the damage and repair of lung epithelial cells
Lung epithelial cells play a protective role in the respiratory system. However, various pathological factors such as infection, trauma, and inflammation can lead to damage to lung epithelial cells, causing lung diseases.

Characterization of cells of amniotic fluids by immunological identification of intermediate-sized filaments: Presence of cells of different tissue origin [PDF]
Antibodies against intermediate-sized filaments, of the prekeratin or vimentin type, were used to investigate the presence of these filaments by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy in cultured and non-cultured amniotic fluid cells, in frozen sections ...

Injury and inflammation promote cancer progression at the anorectal junction
Summary: In anorectal cancer, epithelial tumors frequently develop in transition zones (TZs) between the anal and the rectal epithelia, a region subjected to inflammation and wounds.
