The cheek is the most common location from which a DNA sample can be taken. (Some saliva is collected from inside the mouth, e.g. using a cotton-tipped rod called a swab or "Q-Tip". The procedure of collecting a sample in that way is typically called a "cheek swab".)
Giant cell epulis, also known as peripheral giant cell granuloma, are like fibrous epulis and occur at the anterior interdental margin, the gum between the teeth at the front. They are more common in women. They are often soft round and deep red to purplish blue. It is important they are investigated to make are they are not true giant cell ...
Nucleus of a female amniotic fluid cell. Top: Both X-chromosome territories are detected by FISH. Shown is a single optical section made with a confocal microscope.

The face is the front of an animal's head that features the eyes, nose and mouth, and through which animals express many of their emotions. [1] [2] The face is crucial for human identity, and damage such as scarring or developmental deformities may affect the psyche adversely.
”Using cheek cells to predict aging and related health issues is fascinating and could be a promising method. It’s especially intriguing because it is less invasive than traditional blood ...
Cells of stratum corneum are sometimes without keratin and living. Examples of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium include some parts of the lining of oral cavity , pharynx , conjunctiva of eye , upper one-third esophagus , rectum , vulva , and vagina .
In dysplastic epithelium, cells may become vertically orientated rather than becoming flat towards the surface. There may be abnormal keratinization, where keratin is formed below the normal keratin layer. This can occur in individual cells or groups of cells, forming an intraepithelial keratin pearl. There may be an increase in the number of ...
Simple cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelium that consists of a single layer of cuboidal (cube-like) cells which have large, spherical and central nuclei. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found on the surface of ovaries , the lining of nephrons , the walls of the renal tubules , parts of the eye and thyroid , and in salivary glands .
