Meanings of luminal cells in English

The prostate gland mainly contains basal and luminal cells constructed as a pseudostratified epithelium.

Higher magnification revealed luminal cells with short microvillus projections.

Lineage-tracing demonstrates that luminal cells are favoured for organoid formation and generate basal cells in culture.

Some of the luminal cells showed invagination and putative engulfment of bacterial structures by pseudopod-like formations.

Such embryonic-like stem cells are thought to give rise to mature basal cells and secretory luminal cells.

Increased stiffness causes a differentiation bias towards myoepithelial cells while reducing production of luminal cells and progenitor maintenance.

Our studies underscore the progenitor properties of luminal cells, and identify in vitro approaches for studying prostate biology.

In nonneoplastic tissues staining was observed in basal and luminal cells with the morphology of terminally differentiated cells.

The existence of slow-cycling luminal cells in the prostate has been suggested, but their identity and functional properties remain unknown.

Tubular structures observed in eccrine spiradenoma showed staining patterns similar to those of the luminal cells in the transitional portions.

Dysfunctional progenitor and luminal cells with acquired basal cell properties accumulate during human mammary epithelial aging for reasons not understood.

In vivo YAP is primarily active in myoepithelia of younger breasts, but localization and activity increases in luminal cells with age.

Whereas sorted myoepithelial cells gave a single clone type, sorted luminal cells gave three morphological clone types, two of which grew rapidly.

Quantitative assessments of proliferation and cell death in the luminal and basal compartments indicate that basal cells can rapidly generate luminal cells.

We show that Ptprb is highly expressed in adult mammary stem cells and also, although at lower levels, in oestrogen receptor-positive luminal cells.
