epithelial cells

[Science Immunology] Scientists linked epithelial Gasdermin D to the secretory granule exocytotic pathway and highlighted its physiological nonpyroptotic role in shaping mucosal homeostasis in the gut.

[Journal of Food Biochemistry] Researchers investigated the effect of 2'-fucosyllactose on the repair of monolayer barrier damage in Caco-2 cells by Lactobacillus rhamnosus KLDS 8001 (KLDS 8001).

[Science] Scientists characterized leader cells emerging from epithelial monolayers in cell culture and found that they activated the stress sensor p53, which was sufficient to initiate leader cell behavior.

[American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology] The authors demonstrated that antibody-induced leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) blockade remodeled the lung epithelial transcriptome in association with increased apoptosis.

[Nature Communications] Scientists identified a mesenchymal-epithelial crosstalk that shapes the developing small intestine during late morphogenesis.

[Cell Death Discovery] Researchers used a library containing approved drugs to screen for drugs that preferentially reduce cell viability in lung fibroblasts from an IPF patient compared with a human alveolar epithelial cell line.
