Thus, epithelial cell polarization is translated directly into the acquisition of brush borders through a small G protein signalling module whose action is positioned by a cortical lipid cue.

This visual abstract presents a systematic biochemical and structural characterization of the brush border inter-microvillar ... with the inner ear hair cell interstereocilia complex organizations ...

It has been demonstrated that the various specific hydrolytic enzymes (disaccharidases) are localized predominantly in the brush-border region (microvilli) of the mucosal cells. Over the past five ...

A team of researchers working at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School has found evidence of brush cells in the mouse nose secreting proinflammatory lipids. In their paper ...

For the first time, researchers discovered that in the nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys, antibodies had coated a specialized part of cells called brush borders, which help reabsorb and ...
