Evolution of cooperation in an epithelium [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2019 Cooperation is prevalent in nature, not only in the context of social interactions within the animal kingdom but also on the cellular level. In cancer, for example, tumour cells can cooperate by producing growth factors. The evolution of cooperation has traditionally been studied for well-mixed populations under the framework of evolutionary game ...

Immunomodulation of Epithelium [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1994 Many studies have provided evidence that the immune system is a key regulatory system of intestinal function. The interaction of immune cells with the gut epithelium plays an important role in host defence, acting to eliminate pathogens, antigens and other noxious material from the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract.

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 ...

Gut Microbes, 2022 Psychological stress alters the gut microbiota and predisposes individuals to increased risk for enteric infections and chronic bowel conditions. Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are responsible for maintaining homeostatic interactions between the gut ...

The Dual Role of the Airway Epithelium in Asthma: Active Barrier and Regulator of Inflammation
Cells, 2023 Chronic airway inflammation is the cornerstone on which bronchial asthma arises, and in turn, chronic inflammation arises from a complex interplay between environmental factors such as allergens and pathogens and immune cells as well as structural cells ...

ON THE GROWTH OF EPITHELIUM. [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1901 In the following I intend to report upon some experiments which were undertaken as a continuation of former work published in 1898, in theArchiv f. Entwickelungsmechanik.There are reported observations on the growth of epithelium in the coagulated blood during the healing of wounds. I found that epithelium may branch in the blood.

Epithelial Cells and Inflammation in Pulmonary Wound Repair
Cells, 2021 Respiratory diseases are frequently characterised by epithelial injury, airway inflammation, defective tissue repair, and airway remodelling. This may occur in a subacute or chronic context, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or ...

Claudin-2-dependent paracellular channels are dynamically gated
eLife, 2015 Intercellular tight junctions form selectively permeable barriers that seal the paracellular space. Trans-tight junction flux has been measured across large epithelial surfaces, but conductance across individual channels has never been measured.

Aberrant Epithelial Cell Proliferation in Peripheral Airways in Bronchiectasis
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Dilation of bronchi and bronchioles caused by destruction and excessive epithelial remodeling is a characteristic feature of bronchiectasis. It is not known how epithelial progenitor cells contribute to these pathologic conditions in peripheral airways ...
