The 3D shape and dynamic organization of epithelial cells are far more complex than previously believed, but can be explained with simple physical principles based on lateral surface energy minimisation.

In a mouse model of menstruation stromal cells respond to breakdown of the tissue by changing their identity to become epithelial cells that are incorporated into the luminal epithelium which is rapidly 'healed' without scarring.
Even though the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi develops polarized epithelial tissues, polarization is not mediated by the conserved mechanisms polarizing bilaterian and cnidarian epithelial cells.
Live imaging, transcriptional profiling and mouse models demonstrated that the mesenchyme controls the growth pace but not the mode of branching of the mammary epithelium and unveiled a unique function for Igf1/Igfr1 in embryonic development mammary gland.

In response to disruption of barrier functions mediated by septate junctions, Drosophila epithelial cells restrict endosomal degradation of transmembrane cell adhesion proteins to promote their recycling in order to maintain tissue integrity.

The enteric bacterial microbiota stimulates a highly localized interferon-lambda signal within the intestinal epithelium that protects against murine rotavirus infection.

The maintenance methyltransferase Dnmt1 and the de novo methyltransferase Dnmt3b cooperate to maintain DNA methylation and genomic stability in the adult intestinal epithelium.

Interaction of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) with human amniotic epithelial cells (hAEC) confers hESC a pluripotent potential that resembles the anteriorized epiblast, which is predisposed to form the neural ectoderm.
