Mesothelial cells


Welcome to my Blog. This Blog is all about Mesothelial cells. Mesothelial cells form a layer of specialised pavement-like cells that line the body’s serous cavities and internal organs. The primary function of this layer, termed the mesothelium, is to provide a slippery, non-adhesive and protective surface.
Damage to the Mesothelial cells can lead to Mesothelioma Cancer. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. It is a horrible disease. It lays dormant in the body for 20 years.
The aim of this blog is to educate you all about Mesothelial cells.
