For 10 points, name these cells which constitute a basic animal tissue type that lines the cavities and surfaces of organs and blood vessels.
Inclusions of polyomaviruses such as BK and JC are found in a type of these cells often detected in urine, known as decoy cells. The diuretic amiloride is specific to a sodium channel expressed in these cells. The SCRIB complex localizes to the opposite end of these cells as the PAR and CRUMBS complexes. Reticular cells of this type in the thymus are crucial in preventing T cells from recognizing self proteins. These cells are (*) polarized into "apical" and "basolateral" domains. These cells are held together by the protein E-cadherin, whose loss triggers their transition into mesenchymal stem cells. These cells can freely contract and expand in "transitional" tissue, and form two or more layers in "stratified" tissue. These cells come in squamous, columnar, and cuboidal shapes.
