The tissue that lines the inside of the mouth is known as the basal mucosa and is composed of squamous epithelial cells. These structures, commonly thought of as cheek cells, divide approximately every 24 hours and ... Interestingly, a group of Australian researchers have recently found another use for human cheek cells.

In this study, we demonstrated that chemically synthesized meso-DAP itself activated human epithelial cells from various tissues, through NOD1 to generate antibacterial factors, PGN recognition proteins and beta-defensin 2, and cytokines in specified cases, although the activities of meso-DAP were generally weaker...

BACKGROUND: Lactobacilli represent a major component of the human microbiota. ... RESULTS: Exposure of human epithelial cells to L. fermentum does not induce NF-kappaB activation and subsequent IL-8 secretion in HeLa cells, whereas Y. enterocolitica induces NF-kappaB activation and high levels of IL-8.

Human epithelial cells encounter two senescence barriers that enforce a limited proliferative potential. A first barrier is mediated by the retinoblastoma protein, and can be overcome by multiple types of errors, many of which are observed in human cancers.
