Pseudostratified epithelium, characterized by cells in different cell cycle phases within one epithelial structure, exhibits mitotic nuclei (yellow) at the apical side, while S-phase nuclei are located on the basal surface and those in G1/2 occupy the middle epithelial zone. MAPK activity, as detected by phosphorylated ERK1/2 and depicted in red, is activated in some of the middle zone G1- and apical S-phase cells. As shown by Ihermann-Hella et al., MAPK activity is crucial for mediating the transition from G1- to S-phase and regulating epithelial cell adhesion. See Ihermann-Hella et al.
