Irradiation Induces Epithelial Cell Unjamming
The healthy and mature epithelial layer is ordinarily quiescent, non-migratory, solid-like, and jammed. However, in a variety of circumstances the layer transitions to a phase that is dynamic, migratory, fluid-like and unjammed.

Infection-generated electric field in gut epithelium drives bidirectional migration of macrophages. [PDF]
Many bacterial pathogens hijack macrophages to egress from the port of entry to the lymphatic drainage and/or bloodstream, causing dissemination of life-threatening infections. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.

Three-Dimensional Explant Platform for Studies on Choroid Plexus Epithelium
The choroid plexus (CP) plays a major role in controlling the entry of substances and immune cells into the brain as it forms the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) in the brain ventricles.

Prostaglandin E2 promotes intestinal repair through an adaptive cellular response of the epithelium [PDF]
Adaptive cellular responses are often required during wound repair. Following disruption of the intestinal epithelium, wound‐associated epithelial (WAE) cells form the initial barrier over the wound.

IRE1 phosphatase PP2Ce regulates adaptive ER stress response in the postpartum mammary gland. [PDF]
We recently reported that the PPM1l gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane targeted protein phosphatase (named PP2Ce) with highly specific activity towards Inositol-requiring protein-1 (IRE1) and regulates the functional outcome of ER stress.
