The epidermis consists of cells responsible for the support and maintenance of the skeleton, as well as pigment cells, mechanoreceptor cells ( which detect motion on the animal's surface ), and sometimes gland cells which secrete sticky fluids or even toxins.

One study suggests the drug amplifies production of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ( NGAL ) in the skin, which has been shown to reduce sebum production by inducing apoptosis in sebaceous gland cells, while exhibiting an antimicrobial effect on " Propionibacterium acnes ".

The stomach lining also possess populations of LGR5 + ve stem cells, although there are two conflicting theories : one is that LGR5 + ve stem cells reside in the isthmus, the region between the pit cells and gland cells, where most cellular proliferation takes place.

A team of scientists led by Dr . Philip W . Kantoff at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute here reported last week that it had uncovered a link between the size of a particular DNA sequence in prostate gland cells and the risk of developing aggressive prostate cancers.

The principal support for such a relationship comes from special cell / cell junctions, the belt desmosomes, that occur not just in the Placozoa but in all animals except the sponges; they enable the cells to join together in an unbroken layer like the epitheloid of the Placozoa . " Trichoplax adhaerens " also shares the ventral gland cells with most eumetazoans.
