Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Therefore, the initiation and maintenance of inflammation at epithelial surfaces is induced by local mechanisms that have marked effects on the outcome of the immune response. In parallel ...

We ask the following questions: How are cell fates determined in the embryonic surface epithelium? What cellular mechanisms govern early morphogenesis of epithelial appendages? Are they conserved ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

The role of ovarian surface epithelium in folliculogenesis during fetal development of the bovine ovary: a histological and immunohistochemical study. Sex differentiation in an all-female (XX ...
