Cytokine tuning of intestinal epithelial function [PDF]
, 2018 The intestine serves as both our largest single barrier to the external environment and the host of more immune cells than any other location in our bodies.

Anatomy of cornea and ocular surface
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2018 Important functions of cornea in the eye include protecting the structures inside the eye, contributing to the refractive power of the eye, and focusing light rays on the retina with minimum scatter and optical degradation.

Irradiation Induces Epithelial Cell Unjamming
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 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.

Fluctuations of cell geometry and their non-equilibrium thermodynamics in living epithelial tissue [PDF]
, 2022 We measure different contributions to entropy production in a living functional epithelial tissue. We do this by extracting the functional dynamics of development while at the same time quantifying fluctuations. Using the translucent Drosophila melanogaster pupal epithelium as an ideal tissue for high resolution live imaging [1], we measure the entropy

Differentiation state-specific mitochondrial dynamic regulatory networks are revealed by global transcriptional analysis of the developing chicken lens. [PDF]
, 2014 The mature eye lens contains a surface layer of epithelial cells called the lens epithelium that requires a functional mitochondrial population to maintain the homeostasis and transparency of the entire lens.

Three-Dimensional Explant Platform for Studies on Choroid Plexus Epithelium
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 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.

Arbutin Ameliorates Murine Colitis by Inhibiting JAK2 Signaling Pathway
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Background and objective: Abnormal activation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) promotes the pathogenesis and progress of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by stimulating the cytokine traffic.

Probing embryonic tissue mechanics with laser hole-drilling [PDF]
Phys. Biol. 6 (2009) 036004
(http://iopscience.iop.org/1478-3975/6/3/036004/)., 2008 We use laser hole-drilling to assess the mechanics of an embryonic epithelium during development - in vivo and with subcellular resolution. We ablate a subcellular cylindrical hole clean through the epithelium, and track the subsequent recoil of adjacent cells (on ms time scales).

The physiological expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the human colon [PDF]
, 2001 Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is expressed in the colonic epithelium in both inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. Nitric oxide (NO), the product of this enzyme, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of both conditions.
