In the stomach, so-called parietal cells are responsible for acid production. They react not only to the body's own messenger molecules, but also to bitter-tasting food constituents such as ...

ERR-gamma 'trains' stomach stem cells to become acid-producing cells Date: May 10, 2024 Source: Baylor College of Medicine Summary: Researchers have identified molecular and genetic pathways that ...

The researchers discovered that of all the genes expressed by the cells, there was one, estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ), a gene involved in regulating cell metabolism, that was expressed ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Sept 27, 2023)—Driven by changing estrogen levels, the menopause transition has a major influence on physiology during aging. Estrogen receptors populate numerous brain regions ...

Mesothelial cells synthesize and secrete lubricants, such as glycosaminoglycans and surfactant, to prevent friction and the formation of adhesions between the parietal and visceral surfaces. 39 They ...

Basal cell carcinomas are slow-growing cancers. They typically appear as elevated or flat lesions present on the sun-exposed parts of the body such as the face, scalp, chin, neck or back.

Parietal cells are present in the gastric pits that mainly occur in the upper part of the stomach, or the fundus. They secrete hydrochloric acid, which helps break down food.

All types of glomerular cells including podocytes that maintain the filtration barrier, mesangial cells that have contractile properties, parietal epithelial cells that serve as podocyte progenitors ...

Additional exploration over time is needed to evaluate the effect of biologic changes to fundamental sickle cell physiology, reduction of hemolysis, and amelioration of vaso-occlusive events on ...

Scientists have, for the past 30 years, been investigating the regenerative potential of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas. Newly reported studies in diabetic mice by researchers at the ...
