epithelial cells

[Nature Communications] Investigators engineered a 3D biomimetic human breast that made it possible to study how stem cell fate decisions translated to tissue-level structure and function.

[Journal of Cellular Physiology] Scientists characterized that Lactobacillus plantarum activated the farnesoid X receptor – fibroblast growth factor 15 signaling in intestinal epithelial cells and hence promoted DNA-damage repair.

[Cell Death Discovery] Researchers investigated species-specific cell susceptibility, virus dose-dependent infectivity, and infection kinetics, using primary human and porcine respiratory epithelial cells.

[Bioengineered] Researchers clarified the role of hydroxysafflor yellow A in inhibiting colorectal cancer in vitro and the underlying mechanisms.

[Science] Unconventional T cells compete for niches within tissues, and recent evidence supports the idea that the fundamental role of these cells in tissue physiology may result from their action as a network with overlapping and potentially synergistic functions, rather than as individual subsets.

[Cell Reports] The authors illustrated how pregnancy-induced changes modulate the communication between mammary epithelial cells and the immune microenvironment and established a causal link between pregnancy, the immune microenvironment, and mammary oncogenesis.
