Epithelial tissues cover all external and internal surfaces of the body. Think about it as a shrink wrap that continues into body cavities. If the endoscope can go there without puncturing the skin or mucosal membranes and “drawing blood”, the surface is covered by epithelium. Skin is covered by epithelium (that’s the epidermis layer), lips are covered by epithelium, the mouth cavity is, as well as the esophagus, stomach and intestines, you get the picture. Another organ system that branches off from the oral cavity is the respiratory system; so the trachea, bronchi, and all the way to the alveoli in the lungs, are covered by epithelium. Don’t forget that epithelium also covers places like the cornea, sclera of the eye, and the tympanic membrane in the ear.

Most epithelial tissues are essentially large sheets of cells covering all the surfaces of the body exposed to the outside world and lining the outside of organs. Epithelium also forms much of the glandular tissue of the body. Skin is not the only area of the body exposed to the outside. Other areas include the airways, the digestive tract, as well as the urinary and reproductive systems, all of which are lined by an epithelium. Hollow organs and body cavities that do not connect to the exterior of the body, which includes, blood vessels and serous membranes, are lined by endothelium (plural = endothelia), which is a type of epithelium.

Cell proliferation affects both cellular geometry and topology in a growing tissue, and hence rules for cell division are key to understanding multicellular development. Epithelial cell layers have for long times been used to investigate how cell proliferation leads to tissue-scale properties, including organism-independent distributions of cell areas and number of neighbors. We use a cell-based two-dimensional tissue growth model including mechanics to investigate how different cell division rules result in different statistical properties of the cells at the tissue level. We focus on isotropic growth and division rules suggested for plant cells, and compare the models with data from the Arabidopsis shoot. We find that several division rules can lead to the correct distribution of number of neighbors, as seen in recent studies. In addition we find that when also geometrical properties are taken into account other constraints on the cell division rules result. We find that division rules acting in favor of equally sized and symmetrically shaped daughter cells can best describe the statistical tissue properties.
13. Linear viscoelastic properties of the vertex model for epithelial tissues
Epithelial tissues act as barriers and, therefore, must repair themselves, respond to environmental changes and grow without compromising their integrity.
Author summary Epithelial tissues line organs and cavities in the body, and serve as barriers that separate organisms from their environment. Epithelia are robust yet adaptable; they have the ability to change their own viscoelastic behavior in response to internal or external stimuli by actively tuning the mechanical properties of the constituent cells and interactions between them. The mesoscopic mechanics of epithelia are commonly described with the vertex model. Here we present a detailed study of the linear rheological properties of the vertex model for both regular hexagonal and disordered cell configurations over a wide range of driving frequencies. The linear viscoelastic responses of the vertex model are mapped to standard spring-dashpot models. Our work, therefore, shows that the vertex model is a suitable base model to study the rich rheological behavior of epithelial tissues.

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) encompasses dynamic changes in cellular organization from epithelial to mesenchymal phenotypes, which leads to functional changes in cell migration and invasion. EMT occurs in a diverse range of physiological and pathological conditions and is driven by a conserved set of inducing signals, transcriptional regulators and downstream effectors. With over 5,700 publications indexed by Web of Science in 2019 alone, research on EMT is expanding rapidly. This growing interest warrants the need for a consensus among researchers when referring to and undertaking research on EMT. This Consensus Statement, mediated by ‘the EMT International Association’ (TEMTIA), is the outcome of a 2-year-long discussion among EMT researchers and aims to both clarify the nomenclature and provide definitions and guidelines for EMT research in future publications. We trust that these guidelines will help to reduce misunderstanding and misinterpretation of research data generated in various experimental models and to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration to identify and address key open questions in this research field. While recognizing the importance of maintaining diversity in experimental approaches and conceptual frameworks, we emphasize that lasting contributions of EMT research to increasing our understanding of developmental processes and combatting cancer and other diseases depend on the adoption of a unified terminology to describe EMT. In this Consensus Statement, the authors (on behalf of the EMT International Association) propose guidelines to define epithelial–mesenchymal transition, its phenotypic plasticity and the associated multiple intermediate epithelial–mesenchymal cell states. Clarification of nomenclature and definitions will help reduce misinterpretation of research data generated in different experimental model systems and promote cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Epithelial tissues form folded structures during embryonic development and organogenesis. Whereas substantial efforts have been devoted to identifying mechanical and biochemical mechanisms that induce folding, how they interact remains poorly understood. Here we propose a mechano–biochemical model for dorsal fold formation in the early Drosophila embryo, an epithelial folding event induced by shifts of cell polarity. Based on experimentally observed apical domain homeostasis, we couple cell mechanics to polarity and find that mechanical changes following the initial polarity shifts alter cell geometry, which in turn influences the reaction-diffusion of polarity proteins, thus forming a feedback loop between mechanics and polarity. This model can induce spontaneous fold formation in silico , recapitulate polarity and shape changes observed in vivo , and confer robustness to tissue shape change against small fluctuations in mechanics and polarity. These findings reveal emergent properties of a developing epithelium under control of intracellular mechano–polarity coupling. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
