Reg3? is an antibacterial lectin secreted by Paneth cells that serves to prevent microorganisms from coming into contact with the epithelial layer.
12.
The cellular phase involves several types of cells working together to mount an inflammatory response, synthesize granulation tissue, and restore the epithelial layer.
13.
The corneal epithelial layer is generally removed to increase penetration of the riboflavin into the stroma, a procedure known as the standard protocol.
14.
Tight junctions provide a narrow but modifiable seal between adjacent cells in the epithelial layer and thereby provide selective paracellular transport of solutes.
15.
Recent studies show that the surface epithelial layer of the cornea heals faster if the epithelial sheet is removed at the end of surgery.
16.
It is better in fact to discard the epithelial layer at the end of surgery, thus making epi-LASIK no different from traditional photorefractive keratectomy surgery.
17.
These cause the epithelial cells to burst, which causes significant damage to the intestine epithelial layer, and releases blood, fluid, and electrolytes into the intestine.
18.
This results in the perpetually increasing size of the junctional epithelial layer and the isolation of the remnants of ameloblasts from any source of nutrition.
19.
The epithelial layer is sloughed off as the dendritic ulcer grows, and mild inflammation ( iritis ) may occur in the underlying stroma of iris.
20.
In some fish, there are three layers, with the middle layer being made of connective tissue, which helps to bind the other two epithelial layers together.
