the new basal epithelial cell layer must adhere to Bowman’s layer or the stroma. This requires healthy basement membrane and the creation of epithelial cell adhesion complexes to the underlying ...

Researchers have developed an innovative immunotoxin (a fusion protein called GrB-Fc-KS49) designed to target epithelial membrane protein-2 (EMP2), a biomarker overexpressed in more than 75% of breast ...

In animals, gut epithelial cells are tightly anchored through a series of cell membrane fusion proteins, forming "tight junctions" to seal the intercellular space to control the intake of ...

can function in the eye as a basement membrane substitute or as a temporary graft. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effects and contains growth factors that promote epithelial wound ...

The nanoscale systems have to penetrate or diffuse through the mucosal membrane to reach the epithelium as depicted in Figure 3A & B. The mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells ...
