Gastrulation is a major morphogenetic process in animal development during which the embryonic germ layers are generated and the basic body plan is laid down. In mammals, gastrulation is first marked ...

Further analysis of cellular identity using established lineage markers revealed that as development proceeds, captured epithelial Lgr5 + cells display elevated expression of stem/progenitor markers ...

Australian researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...

In a recent Biomaterials study, researchers evaluate the feasibility of tonsil epithelial cell-derived organoids as an ex vivo model for studying severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...
