Polarized epithelial cells are compartmentalized into apical and basement membranes with asymmetrically distributed proteins. This study aimed to establish a method for culturing epithelial cells at the fluorinated oil (Novec-7500) microdroplet surface for the formation of epithelial polarity, which is desirable for regenerative medicine and drug discovery research. Microdroplet surfaces treated with fibronectin, which regulates a variety of cell behaviors through direct interactions with cell surface integrin receptors, were prepared for culturing epithelial cells.

Background: Radiation nephropathy (RN) can be a significant late complication after radiotherapy for abdominal and paraspinal tumors. The mechanisms for the development of RN are thought to involve disruption of podocyte function, leading to podocyte cell death and, finally, impaired renal function. This study investigated the mechanistic role of SMPDL3b in regulating podocyte injury and renal function after irradiation.
