LONG-TERM EXPANSION OF BASAL CELLS AND THE NOVEL DIFFERENTIATION METHODS IDENTIFY MECHANISMS FOR SWITCHING CLAUDIN EXPRESSION IN NORMAL EPITHELIA

Long-term expansion of basal cells and the novel differentiation methods identify mechanisms for switching Claudin expression in normal epithelia

Abstract Epithelia are tightly connected cellular sheets, that shield our body from the external environment.They are continuously maintained by a pooled population of undifferentiated cells through differentiation.However, the maintenance mechanisms remain incompletely understood due to the difficulty of experimentally observing the differentiatio
