Abstract excerpt
Epithelial cells and myofibroblasts are well-characterized histomorphological elements of tissues. They are distinguished from one another on the basis of topography and of differences in cytokeratin (CK) and α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expression. Certain epithelial cells exhibit CK / SMA co-expression. This study aimed to define the immunophenotypical characteristics of these biphenotypic cells with respect to...
