epithelial cells

[Aging] Researchers cultured human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) and extracted exosomes from culture supernatants. They established a stable acute myocardial infarction model in rats and treated them with hAECs, exosomes, or PBS.

[Scientific Reports] The authors utilized the established non-malignant HPr1-AR prostate epithelial cell model that upon androgen exposure committed to a luminal cell differentiation trajectory from that of a basal-like state.

[NPJ Regenerative Medicine] Researchers analyzed the oxidative damage in models of liver injury characterized by biliary epithelial cells/hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) activation and defined the impact of redox balance perturbation on HPC fate. They then identified Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 as the main transcription factor involved in the activation of HPCs.

[Stem Cell Research & Therapy] Cecal ligation and puncture-induced sepsis rats and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated intestinal epithelial cells to investigate the effect of mesenchymal stem cell-derived microvesicles on intestinal barrier dysfunction.

[Cell Host & Microbe] In the intestine, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium actively invaded intestinal epithelial cells and survived in the Salmonella-containing vacuole and the cell cytosol.

[Experimental and Molecular Medicine] Scientists evaluated the effect of neutrophil elastase on lipopolysaccharide - induced interleukin 8 production and determined the molecular mechanism in human bronchial epithelial cells.
