epithelial cell, any one of several cells arranged in one or more layers that form part of a covering or lining of a body surface. The cells usually adhere to one other along their edges and surfaces. One surface is free, and the other rests on a noncellular basement membrane. See also epithelial tissue.

In biphasic tumors, the epithelial cells are arranged in solid nests, pseudoglands, or papillary structures (figure 2). This is the first study to use a large number of soil-derived dusts to test whether the in vitro cytokine secretion responses in a widely used immortalized lung epithelial cell line treated with varying concentrations of particles were correlated with, or explained by, the specific chemical species, such as the functionally defined carbon fractions, measured using the STN and IMPROVE monitoring network protocols. To investigate cellular tropism of influenza viruses, the authors employed cultures of differentiated human airway epithelial cells which closely mimic airway epithelium in vivo. |
