Researchers at ETH Zurich are developing a model in the lab made from human breast milk cells. They hope it will help them ...

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.

In conclusion, Loïc Meudec said " additional characterization investigations are ongoing to develop immuno-organoids that can be used to study the crosstalk between epithelial cells and immune ...

New understanding of novel pathways in Sjögren's disease — Sjögren’s disease primarily affects the salivary and lacrimal glands, resulting in tissue inflammation characterised by the ...

Mouse mammary gland development begins at embryonic day (E) 10 with the formation of bilateral milk lines, followed by the asynchronous appearance of five pairs of epithelial placodes positioned ...

Even though the mammary epithelium retained its cellular identity, the branch pattern was reported to be salivary gland-like: branches formed at higher density and by tip clefting rather than lateral ...

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 occurs when cells in this area begin to multiply out of control, forming a tumor. In the early stages of this cancer, a person may not experience any symptoms.

Then they cultured endometrial stromal and epithelial organoids from human donors together in the synthetic matrix, and the co-culture remained intact over the experiment period of at least 15 days.
