Concurrent analysis of whole-genome DNA methylation and single-cell RNA sequencing data from COVID-19 patients and controls ...

Researchers exposed cultures of human cells that line the upper airway, known as human bronchial epithelium, to dry air.

Airway epithelial cells act as a physical barrier against environmental toxins and injury, and modulate inflammation and the immune response. As such, maintenance of their integrity is critical.

For the study, the researchers first analysed how water loss or transpiration occurs in the mucus of upper airways in humans, ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells — which ...

As an example, consider the epithelial cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the human body — including the skin, intestines, airway, and reproductive tract. These cells provide a ...
