Imaging human epithelial properties with polarized light-scattering spectroscopy
Article Abstract:
This article examines an 'in situ' non-invasive technique for probing the physiology of living epithelial cells using light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS). LSS can be used to provide information about epithelial cell nuclei and detect precancerous lesions.

Epstein-Barr virus infection of polarized tongue and nasopharyngeal epithelial cells
Article Abstract:
Research shows that Epstein-Barr virus enters mucosal oropharyngeal epithelial cells via three CD21-independent pathways. The release of progeny virions occurs from their apical as well as basolateral membranes.
