Epithelium is a type of tissue that lines the cavities and surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body. It is made up of cells that are closely packed together and form a protective layer. Epithelium is divided into two main categories: simple and stratified. Simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells and is found in areas such as the lining of the digestive tract and the airways. Stratified epithelium is composed of multiple layers of cells and is found in areas such as the skin and the lining of the mouth. Epithelium plays an important role in the body, providing protection from infection, regulating the movement of substances, and helping to maintain the body's fluid balance. It is also involved in the production of hormones and other substances that are essential for normal body function. The epithelium market is a rapidly growing sector of the medical industry. Companies in this market are focused on developing products and technologies that can be used to diagnose and treat diseases related to epithelial tissue. These products include diagnostic tests, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Examples of companies in this market include Bio-Techne, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Merck KGaA.
