The epithelium is a tissue of fundamental importance, that covers the surface of the body and lines the interior of many organs. Composed of tightly bound epithelial cells, it plays a crucial ...

Constitutive macropinocytosis occurs in the apical surface of the Xenopus embryonic epidermis. Credit: Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-60724-2 ...

In epithelial cells, Mitchell’s team discovered that macropinocytosis occurs on the apical surface, or the outermost surface of the cell, which actually causes the apical cell surface to become ...

Apical LICRLonM8 staining was found on the foveolar epithelium in all normal but not in most H. pylori gastritis cases, agreeing with previous observations (Figures 1I and K and 2A).

Epithelial cells are held together and connected by several different types of structures that form cell-cell contacts. One of these structures, found near the top surface of the cell, is the ...

Src activation in lipid rafts confers epithelial cells with invasive potential to escape from apical extrusion during cell competition. Current Biology, 2022; DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2022.06.038 ...
