Mesothelial cell proliferation and apoptosis

Abstract excerpt

Mesothelial cells line the pleural and peritoneal surfaces, where under normal conditions they proliferate and undergo cell death at a slow rate, thereby maintaining a constant number of cells. These tightly regulated processes are disrupted in malignancy.
