Researchers identify key to epithelial cell growth
Updated : 2 years, 2 months ago IST
Australian scientists have identified a novel way for epithelial cells, which form layers in organs such as the skin and stomach, to adhere to one another and perceive growth signals at these attachments, allowing them to produce tissues of the proper size and shape.

Stem cells role in protecting gastric mucosa, finds study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
The parietal, chief, pit, and neck cells make up the gastric corpus, which is a major component of the glandular stomach. Each of these specialised epithelial cells plays a crucial part in digestion, and they are constantly replenished by new ones created by stem cell differentiation. Gastri

Study finds cells that helps to treat resistance in prostate cancer
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Researchers have described prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution across the whole course of the disease, from the first stages to the point of androgen independence, where the tumour stops responding to hormone restriction therapy.

Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
From the onset of the disease through the point of androgen independence, where the tumour no longer responds to hormone restriction therapy, researchers have described prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution over the course of the disease.

New study sheds light on growth of human triple negative breast cancers
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Basal-like breast cancers, also known as triple-negative cancers, are a particularly aggressive subtype of breast cancer with limited treatment options. Although the origin of luminal (cells that line the surface of the breast duct) and basal subtypes of breast cancer is unknown, studies sug

Microbes help orchestrate how gut uses its genes
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
The microbes that help break down food actually tell the gut how to do its job better, according to a new study in mice. The researchers said it appears that the microbes are able to influence which of the gut's genes are being called into action, and in turn, that interaction might lead to

Researchers find macrophages may be scavenger cells of the immune system
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 17 (ANI): Alveoli are microscopic air sacs in our lungs that exchange gases between the air we breathe and our blood. To keep this process running properly, the alveolar epithelial cells create a material called "surfactant," which coats the alveoli like a film. Th
