if they really wanted me to stop pulling dry lip skin off before it heals they wouldn't make it the most satisfying thing in the world

Mechanics of Dividing

Quantitative analysis of hundreds of epithelial cell divisions reveals the stresses and forces experienced at a particular phase of the cell cycle influence the orientation of cell division in the developing fruit fly embryo

Do you think fate would be a creature, kind of like God? Something unknowable to us but also we are unknowable to them. We can pretend to understand as they may do us. Too macroscopic for us to see and study all of them at once. Us too microscopic for them to see and study us either. You know homeostasis, how things aim to be dynamically unchanged? Our pH, temperature, so many things where we are just a tiny sliver, a tiny line, a thin border, like our own skin. We can only live in our skin, and isn't it terrifying to realize how thin that is? Doesn't it make sense we can be dynamically unchanged? Going through the same cycle because some part of us fears a death that will happen? Afraid we will not be? But some things can be a positive feedback loop, for better or worse. Building muscle is a positive feedback loop, in my mind. Pregnancy. Death too, in a sense. It is not always some that will be good for you, but something can change. I am not the same person I was last year. That person is dead. Yet, do I fear that death? I don't know. So what if fate was like that? Afraid that things skewing off of fate's path would bring its end not knowing that just a different version of them will leave? What if things skewing was uncomfortable for it, like an itch, a hiccup, and so they go to stop it, not Willing to grow or evolve. But what if, what if it did? For a second? For a day? What if fate gets tired and for once, for once, it can rest and see what happens. For once, it knows it can't know everything. Wouldn't that be nice?

I can't fucking believe my mom genuinely thinks she has parasites inside of her jesus fucking christ, goes to the goddamn vitamin shop, "oh they laugh at you bc you have a conventional doctor" says the snakeoil seller, these fucking wormwood/black walnut pills are just gonna make you shit that's the fucking natural process

I’ve seen hundreds of these kind of videos and does NO ONE wear gloves when handling food?

EEK! You've received 15 pieces of candy and a single squamous epithelial cell.

Epithelial and Endothelial Differences in the Function

Endothelial cells can regulate blood flow in the blood vessels, by releasing NO (vasodilator) to promote blood circulation and blood pressure regulation. Endothelial cells can also secrete a variety of proteins involved in hemostatic function.

Nurturing T cells

The organ in your chest called the thymus – where the immune system's T cells mature – is composed of a number of cell types, including epithelial cells, vital for T-cell development. This study characterises epithelial stem cells and reveals their capacity to self-renew and organise, providing insight for prolonging T-cell activity as it declines with ageing and for tackling thymic disorders

Complete urine analysis and its role in diagnosing diseases

[urosaketnarnoli]

Epithelial cells in urine, while normal in small amounts, may indicate urinary tract issues when elevated. Squamous, transitional, and renal tubular epithelial cells provide insights into potential health concerns. Monitoring and understanding their presence empower proactive urological well-being. For a comprehensive evaluation and guidance, consult a urologist if persistent or significantly elevated levels are observed.
