Epithelial cells also provide many other functions throughout the body. Why is epithelial tissue important? Epithelial tissue provides several important functions. It protects underlying organs and surfaces, secretes important substances such as mucous and enzymes, and aids in the absorption and diffusion...
All cell types from the gut are present in PCIS and this model also allows study of diseased tissue [91]. More recently, intestinal organoids or ‘mini guts’ are being established as models of the human intestinal epithelium that contain all main types of epithelial cells, e.g. ...
TISSUE mechanicsYOUNG'S modulusEPITHELIUMBREASTEpithelial tissues have a variety of functions, such as protection, secretion, and absorption. Appropriate mechanical properties of epithelia are essential to achieve these functions. Based on the indentation technology, we combine experiments, theory, and ...
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 interior and the exterior of your body. You have countless epithelial cells throughout your body t...

Tight junctions between IECs help support epithelial barrier function and permeability while maintaining the cell polarity that enables directional functions5. Collectively, epithelial cells throughout the intestinal tract function to coordinate nutrient absorption, pathogen defense, and immune regulation. The ...
The human bronchial epithelium is the first line of defense against atmospheric particles, pollutants, and respiratory pathogens such as the novel SARS-CoV-2. The epithelial cells form a tight barrier and secrete proteins that are major components of the
