Implications of the hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal phenotype in metastasis [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Understanding cell-fate decisions during tumorigenesis and metastasis is a major challenge in modern cancer biology. One canonical cell-fate decision that cancer cells undergo is Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and its reverse Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition (MET).

Epithelial layer fluidization by curvature-induced unjamming [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The transition of an epithelial layer from a stationary, quiescent state to a highly migratory, dynamic state is required for wound healing, development, and regeneration. This transition, known as the unjamming transition (UJT), is responsible for epithelial fluidization and collective migration.

Characterization of a continuous feline mammary epithelial cell line susceptible to feline epitheliotropic viruses. [PDF]
, 2009 Mucosal epithelial cells are the primary targets for many common viral pathogens of cats. Viral infection of epithelia can damage or disrupt the epithelial barrier that protects underlying tissues.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transitions: the importance of changing cell state in development and disease [PDF]
, 2009 The events that convert adherent epithelial cells into individual migratory cells that can invade the extracellular matrix are known collectively as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

Surface activity of cancer cells: the fusion of two cell aggregates [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Although a good comprehension of how cancer cells collectively migrate by following molecular rules which influence the state of cell-cell adhesion contacts has been generated, the impact of collective migration on cellular rearrangement from subcellular to supracellular level remains less understood.

A Novel Role of E-Cadherin-Based Adherens Junctions in Neoplastic Cell Dissemination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Using confocal microscopy, we analyzed the behavior of IAR-6-1, IAR1170, and IAR1162 transformed epithelial cells seeded onto the confluent monolayer of normal IAR-2 epithelial cells.

Parasitic helminths induce fetal-like reversion in the intestinal stem cell niche. [PDF]
, 2018 Epithelial surfaces form critical barriers to the outside world and are continuously renewed by adult stem cells1. Whereas dynamics of epithelial stem cells during homeostasis are increasingly well understood, how stem cells are redirected from a tissue ...

Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip [PDF]
, 2015 The intestinal epithelium is a critical component of the gut barrier. Composed of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) held together by tight junctions, this delicate structure prevents the transfer of harmful microorganisms, antigens ...
