A team of scientists from the United Kingdom recently investigated the ultrastructural details of the attachment, entry, and budding processes of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

The epithelium is a type of tissue that covers many different surfaces on the inside and the outside of your body. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together and serve as a barrier between the ...

The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid renewal every 3–5 days, a process driven by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of crypts.

Despite a wealth of available treatments to control the symptoms of chronic asthma, the lung disease has no cure. The discovery of an unexpected cause of asthma could change that. A glitch in the ...
