Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common type of ovarian cancer. It can be easier to treat in the early stages, but as it progresses, it becomes much harder to fully cure. Epithelial ovarian ...

In this Review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the activation and progression of EMT in normal and neoplastic tissues. We also describe the bidirectional crosstalk operating within ...

The intestinal epithelial barrier, among other compartments such as the mucosal immune system, contributes to the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. Therefore, any disturbance within the ...

A distinct signaling pathway called TNF- drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF- program and become invasive ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a previously unknown process used by epithelial cells to alleviate epithelial tissue crowding and avoid cell damage and loss, according to a recent ...

A team led by scientists from the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool have revealed why a group of cancers common in older adults exposed to environmental damage behaves so differently depending ...

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, ...

Australian researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these ...

Humans are exposed to a variety of toxins and chemicals every day. According to the epithelial barrier hypothesis, exposure to many of these substances damages the epithelium, the thin layer of cells ...

Oral papilloma is a benign epithelial lesion often associated with low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly types 6 and 11. It typically presents as an asymptomatic exophytic growth with a ...
