Yu and Granick grew a layer of epithelial cells on a microelectrode array (MEA). While other approaches to measuring electrical activity in cultured cells exist, an MEA has the advantage of combining ...

These models include humanized stem cell-derived in vitro systems that recreate the epithelial cell layer makeup and morphology. 2 Towards this end, scientists increasingly employ monolayer systems.

Epithelial cells form a layer in which an apical surface is exposed to the external environment and to other forms of stress in ducts in specialized organs. As such, epithelial cells require ...

Epithelial cells, the most abundant cells in the body, line internal organs and the outmost layer of the skin. These cells ...

originating from other cell types in closely apposed cell layers, are largely unknown. Epithelial cancer cells subvert the EMT program. By activating a usually dormant EMT program, a carcinoma ...

As a consequence, disruption of the epithelial cell layer may occur and an injury-repair response may follow. Plasma exudation, induced by repeated injury and repair process, may change contractile ...
