  • In early life, the thymus is responsible for the development and maturation of cell-mediated immunologic functions. (medscape.com)
  • The thymus is composed predominantly of epithelial cells and lymphocytes. (medscape.com)
  • The RPE is a monolayer of cells between the neural retina and choroidal blood supply, and is critically important for photoreceptor function. (arvojournals.org)
  • In cancer, these interactions become deregulated and epithelial cells can either be regulated independent of their microenvironment or the niche becomes permissive to tumour formation. (ed.ac.uk)
  • Our lab is interested in how the signals, which come from the regenerative microenvironment drive tissue repair following injury and how these signals are co-opted by the tumour to support cancer growth. (ed.ac.uk)
  • Inhibition of this enzyme reduces cancer risk and it is highly elevated in tumour tissue. (lu.se)
  • The Pap test checks for cell changes on a woman's cervix that could turn into cancer if they are not treated. (familydoctor.org)
  • The virus can cause cell changes that lead to cervical cancer. (familydoctor.org)
  • Pap tests can detect cancer cells, but it is rare. (familydoctor.org)
  • Cells of the cervix go through many changes before they turn into cancer. (familydoctor.org)
  • Abnormal or precancerous cells are often found before cancer develops. (familydoctor.org)
  • Use these cells in breast cancer research. (atcc.org)
  • Each of these cells can cause a different kind of cancer. (webmd.com)
  • Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in the body grow out of control and form a tumor. (medlineplus.gov)
  • The most common type is epithelial cancer. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Fallopian tube cancer forms in the tissue lining a fallopian tube. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Primary peritoneal cancer forms in the tissue lining the peritoneum. (medlineplus.gov)
  • one, the cells were truly epithelial, are the cancer cells, the cells from the breast ducts, and the other, however, with the cells that seemed fusiform, not therefore epithelial, that had to be a type. (webofstories.com)
