This valuable study reports that the ALDH-abundant cells display stem cell properties and may play a key role in the endometrial epithelial development in the mouse. The data supporting the main ...

Scientists have created lab-grown organoids of the uterine lining that mimic the menstrual cycle, revealing how epithelial cells and the WNT7A gene drive scar-free regeneration. The models allow ...

Immunofluorescence staining of human primary gastric cells grown in a microplate and infected with Chlamydia trachomatis (blue: cell nuclei, green: C. trachomatis, grey: actin). Funding: This work was ...

A fundamental challenge for cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy is ensuring sufficient transduction of airway epithelial cells to achieve therapeutic correction. Gene editing is a method to permanently ...

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, ...

Researchers at the School of Medicine at the University of California, Riverside have discovered previously unrecognized ...
