2023年9月26日 · Mesothelial cells are located in the body’s serous cavities, including the pleura (lining the lungs), peritoneum (lining the abdomen), pericardium (lining the heart), and tunica vaginalis (lining the testes). They aid in providing a slick, protective service for organs and tissue to function properly.

2015年2月19日 · Pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs) derived from the mesoderm play a key role during the development of the lung. The pleural mesothelium differentiates to give rise to the endothelium and smooth muscle cells via epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

The mesothelium is a membrane composed of simple squamous epithelial cells of mesodermal origin, [2] which forms the lining of several body cavities: the pleura (pleural cavity around the lungs), peritoneum (abdominopelvic cavity including the mesentery, omenta, falciform ligament and the perimetrium) and pericardium (around the heart).

The mesothelium is composed of an extensive monolayer of specialized cells (mesothelial cells) that line the body's serous cavities and internal organs. Traditionally, this layer was thought to be a simple tissue with the sole function of providing a …

This article provides evidence that, during embryonic development, mesothelial cells covering the surface of the lung migrate into the organ and give rise to various cell types, including vascular smooth muscle cells.

Cytology is increasingly being used in the evaluation of lung lesions. There are several potential pitfalls and mimics encountered in the evaluation of respiratory cytology specimens, making interpretation of respiratory cytology challenging.

Mesothelium refers to a monolayer of mesothelial cells that wrap the lung organ, providing a slippery and protective sealing surface. These cells exhibit characteristics of epithelial cells and are derived from early embryonic lung mesenchyme, potentially serving as progenitors for some lung mesenchymal cells.

In this study, our in vivo study revealed that pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs) migrated into lung parenchyma and localized alongside lung fibroblasts in sub-pleural area in mouse pulmonary fibrosis. Our in vitro study displayed that cultured-PMCs-medium induced lung fibroblasts transforming into myofibroblast, cultured-fibroblasts-medium ...
