epitheliaSuchepitheliaform a specialized structure, termed the cell envelope, located immediately under their plasma membrane which is critically involved in barrier function.From theCambridge English CorpusSmall proline-rich proteins are cross-bridging proteins in the cornified cell envelopes of stratified squamousepithelia.From theCambridge English CorpusA number of specific transport proteins are located in biliaryepithelia, including anion exchangers and water transporters (for a review see ref. 41).From theCambridge English CorpusAs one of the major cell-adhesion systems ofepithelia, laminin- integrin interactions have been particularly well characterised in the human gut under normal conditions.From theCambridge English CorpusThere are two main types of primary cancers in the liver, namely, hepatoma derived from hepatocytes and cholangiocarcinoma derived from bile ductepithelia.From theCambridge English CorpusTo determine the function of septate junctions in sea urchin embryos, the permeability characteristics of the embryonic sea urchinepitheliawere assessed.From theCambridge English CorpusThis includes formation of polarisedepitheliathat exhibit microvilli, cilia, well-defined junctions and basolateral membrane domains.From theCambridge English CorpusAdenovirus-mediated gene transfer transiently corrects the chloride transport defect in nasalepitheliaof patients with cystic fibrosis.From theCambridge English CorpusTight junctions regulate the barrier to paracellular permeability in chordateepithelia; however, the sea urchin blastula epithelium lacks tight junctions and instead possesses septate junctions.From theCambridge English CorpusUnlike theepitheliaof the reproductive tract, the normal ovarian surface epithelium has only a tenuous attachment to underlying stromal components.From theCambridge English CorpusImplications for recruitment of inflammatory cells to damagedepithelia.From theCambridge English CorpusMembrane asymmetry inepithelia: is the tight junction a barrier to diffusion in the plasma membrane?From theCambridge English CorpusWhether similar interactions between astrocyte-like peripheral glia andepitheliaregulate mucosal barrier function is not known.From theCambridge English CorpusHistozoic parasites in theepitheliaof the digestive system of marine fish.From theCambridge English CorpusTheepitheliacells are ciliated, cylindrical, and polarized with three distinct regions.FromWikipediaThis example is from Wikipedia and may be reused under a CC BY-SA license.These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
