Epithelial Cells — Guardians of the Internal Environment — and the Latest Cancer Studies

Epithelial cells line multiple organs throughout the body, including the gastrointestinal tract, bladder, uterus, and airway. Epithelial cells are arranged in sheets, each cell closely connected to its neighbors through attachments called tight junctions. Epithelial cells often sit at the interface between the outside environment and the internal milieu. Here, tightly-packed sheets of epithelial cells…

The Protective Role of Cervical Mucus in Maintaining Vaginal Health

Cervical Health Awareness Month Cervical health is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of overall well-being. The cervix is a small but mighty organ that is integral for fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth. However, it is susceptible to infections and cancer, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and cervical cancer. While infection with high-risk HPV…

Prostate Cancer and Development of Biomarkers

The prostate is a walnut-shaped male organ responsible for secreting prostatic fluid, which is an important component of seminal fluid. This year, the American Cancer Society estimates that 31,620 men will die from prostate cancer and approximately 171,650 new cases will be diagnosed. Cancer screening is a critical part of early detection; generally, the earlier…
