The layer of cells that line the stomach—the gastric epithelium—form gastric glands, or pits, and these contain the cells that can give rise to stomach cancer.

Imaging of human intestinal tissue in inflammatory bowel disease showing the presence of metaplastic epithelial glands. [A. Oliver, N. Huang, R. Li, et al. (2024)] ...

It is also known that salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC) play a pathogenic role in Sjögren's disease.

The webpage discusses the spatially distinct epithelial and mesenchymal cell subsets in the branching embryonic mammary gland.

We identified specific transcriptional signatures that distinguish two spatially restricted mesenchymal populations in mammary embryonic glands, named sub-epithelial and dermal mesenchyme.

Live imaging, transcriptional profiling and mouse models demonstrated that the mesenchyme controls the growth pace but not the mode of branching of the mammary epithelium and unveiled a unique ...

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most common form of ovarian cancer. There are several types, each with a different outlook. Learn more.

The vulva is the external genitalia in the female reproductive system. Broadly the anatomical structures of vulva include..

This is particularly important when modeling the endometrium, as it is composed mainly of epithelial glands and stromal cells, and their crosstalk affects how the endometrial tissue changes ...

Scientists have developed a synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can support the growth of a mini endometrium in a dish for at least two weeks.
