The junctional epithelium is a stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium ranging from 15-30 cell layers coronally to 1-3 cell layers apically. This cell expresses cytokeratin 19 (CK19) as a specific marker, along with ODAM and FDC-SP, and participates in innate immune defense by producing IL-8, IL-1alpha, and MMP-7, facilitating the transmigration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes through the epithelium (Gavriiloglou et al., 2024). This cell has a high turnover rate, with complete renewal occurring every 4-6 days (Lin et al., 2025), and develops from the reduced enamel epithelium during tooth eruption, although it can regenerate de novo without this precursor.

This specialized epithelial cell is characterized by expression of FOXI1 and is involved in regulating and maintaining osmotic pressure within the glandular environment (Dong et al., 2024). In normal human salivary glands, FOXI1-positive cells constitute less than 5% of ductal epithelial cells and are found exclusively in ducts, never in acini, across all major gland types including parotid, submandibular, sublingual, and minor salivary glands (Hoki et al., 2024). Like ionocytes in other tissues, this cell is expected to express high levels of CFTR and possess abundant mitochondria and ion transporters. | http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl/releases/2026-03-26/cl.owl |
| myoepithelial cell of salivary gland | A myoepithelial cell that is part of a salivary gland, positioned between the basal lamina and the secretory or ductal epithelial cells surrounding acini and intercalated ducts. This cell adopts a stellate morphology with four to eight cellular processes around acini and an elongated form parallel to the ductal axis around intercalated ducts (Amano et al., 2012). It expresses alpha-smooth muscle actin (ACTA2/alpha-SMA) as a primary marker, along with p63 and aquaporin 1 (AQP1), and contracts rhythmically in response to neural stimulation to facilitate saliva expulsion from secretory acini into the ductal system (Amano et al., 2012). This cell also produces FGF7, which activates FGFR2b-dependent transcriptional programs essential for seromucous acinar cell differentiation (Aure et al., 2023). In mice, myoepithelial cells express SOX2 and possess regenerative capacity, contributing to acinar cell restoration during tissue repair after severe injury.

| uterine natural killer cell 1, human | A uterine natural killer subset that is present in the endometrial lining during the non-pregnant state (Garcia-Alonso et al., 2021) and in the decidua during pregnancy (Vento-Tormo et al., 2018). It expresses the uterine resident marker CD49a and is distinguished from uNK2 and uNK3 by CD39 expression and the absence of CD103 (Whettlock et al., 2022) and CD160 (Marečková et al., 2024). It also expresses higher levels of killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B1 (LILRB1), which facilitate interaction with human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) on extravillous trophoblast cells, promoting immune tolerance and implantation. Enriched in the endometrium post-ovulation (Marečková et al., 2024) and prominent in early pregnancy (Whettlock et al., 2022), uNK1 regulates trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling (Zhang & Wei, 2021). | http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl/releases/2026-03-26/cl.owl |
| uterine natural killer cell 2, human | A uterine natural killer subset that is present in the endometrial lining during the non-pregnant state (Garcia-Alonso et al., 2021) and in the decidua during pregnancy (Vento-Tormo et al., 2018), peaking in the first trimester. It expresses the uterine resident marker CD49a and is distinguished from uNK1 and uNK3 by the absence of CD39, CD103 (Whettlock et al., 2022), and CD160 (Marečková et al., 2024), with ITGB2 serving as a defining marker (Vento-Tormo et al., 2018). Functionally, it produces more cytokines upon stimulation than uNK1, suggesting a role in immune defense, and secretes XCL1 chemokines, facilitating interactions with maternal dendritic cells and fetal extravillous trophoblasts (Vento-Tormo et al., 2018). | http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl/releases/2026-03-26/cl.owl |
| uterine natural killer cell 3, human | A uterine natural killer subset found in the endometrial lining during the non-pregnant state (Garcia-Alonso et al., 2021) and in the decidua during pregnancy (Vento-Tormo et al., 2018), becoming the dominant uNK subset late in pregnancy. It expresses the uterine resident marker CD49a and is distinguished from uNK1 and uNK2 by CD160 (Marečková et al., 2024) and CD103 expression, the absence of CD39, and low KIR levels (Whettlock et al., 2022). Resembling intraepithelial ILC1 cells, uNK3 primarily supports uterine immune defense (Huhn et al., 2020) and indirectly influences trophoblast behavior through chemokine secretion, such as CCL5 (Vento-Tormo et al., 2018). | http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/cl/releases/2026-03-26/cl.owl |
