UNIGE scientists have revealed the key role played by a form of actin in the mechanics of epithelial membranes and the dynamics of components of cell-cell junctions.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO ... and ultrastructural changes in gut epithelium. We also measured plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels in a small cohort of human neonates receiving ...

Epithelial cells defend human skin and mucous membranes. Specialized structures known as “junctions” enable this “barrier” tissue to carry out its role. They control interactions between cells and ...

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 ...

Patients with limbal deficiency may benefit from limbal stem cell transplantation to alleviate persistent epithelial defects ... Amniotic membrane and other substrates function as tissue ...
