Biliary epithelial cells (cholangiocytes) are responsible for rapid regulation of bile volume and alkalinity. Secretin and other hormones raising intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations promote biliary HCO3 secretion by stimulating apical Cl- channels and Cl-/HCO3- exchang

Type II epithelial cells, which line the alveolar surface of the lung, are exposed to a variety of potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic insults. The purpose of this study was to determine if type II cells are susceptible to oxidative DNA damage in vitro. Treatment of cultured rat type II lung epit
The morphological heterogeneity of the thymic epithelium has been well documented both at the light and electron microscopic level. Immunohistochemistry has revealed four broad classes of epithelial cells (EC): subcapsule/perivascular, cortical, medullary EC, and medullary Hassall's corpuscles. Ultr
## Abstract Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by myofibroblast accumulation, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, and excessive collagen deposition. ECMโproducing myofibroblasts may originate from epithelial cells through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). TGFโฮฒ1 is an induc
Up-regulation of Fas and Fas ligand and excessive apoptosis of bronchiolar and alveolar epithelial cells were identiยฎed in bleomycin-induced pulmonary ยฎbrosis in mice. This study hypothesized that apoptosis-regulatory genes other than FasยฑFas ligand, such as p53, p21 (Waf1/Cip1), bcl-2, bcl-x, and b
