Undulation Instability of Epithelial Tissues [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 158101 (2011), 2011 Treating the epithelium as an incompressible fluid adjacent to a viscoelastic stroma, we find a novel hydrodynamic instability that leads to the formation of protrusions of the epithelium into the stroma. This instability is a candidate for epithelial fingering observed in vivo.

Border forces and friction control epithelial closure dynamics [PDF]
, 2014 Epithelization, the process whereby an epithelium covers a cell-free surface, is not only central to wound healing but also pivotal in embryonic morphogenesis, regeneration, and cancer. In the context of wound healing, the epithelization mechanisms differ depending on the sizes and geometries of the wounds as well as on the cell type while a unified ...

Characterization of Lung Inflammatory Response to Aspergillus fumigatus Spores
Journal of Fungi, 2023 The airway exposure to Aspergillus fumigatus spores (AFsp) is associated with an inflammatory response, potentially leading to allergic and/or chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The aim of our study is to better understand the host response, first in vitro,

Patient Derived Colonoids as Drug Testing Platforms–Critical Importance of Oxygen Concentration
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is challenging, with a series of available drugs each helping only a fraction of patients. Patients may face time-consuming drug trials while the disease is active, thus there is an unmet need for biomarkers ...

The expression and localization of V-ATPase and cytokeratin 5 during postnatal development of the pig epididymis [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Objective We examined the localization and expression of H+ pumping vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) and cytokeratin 5 (KRT5) in the epididymis of pigs, expressed in clear and basal cells, respectively, during postnatal development.

Key Role for CRB2 in the Maintenance of Apicobasal Polarity in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Apicobasal polarity is essential for epithelial cell function, yet the roles of different proteins in its completion is not fully understood. Here, we have studied the role of the polarity protein, CRB2, in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 In postmenopausal women, a major risk factor for the development of breast cancer is obesity. In particular, the adipose tissue-derived adipokine leptin has been strongly linked to tumor cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis, but the underlying ...
