A new study has revealed how epithelial cells respond to the curvature of tissue gaps by changing the shape of an internal organelle, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), to support different modes of ...

Researchers have come a step closer to understanding how cells close gaps not only during embryonic development but also during wound healing. Their study uncovers a fundamental misconception in the ...

Your cells constantly generate and conduct electricity that runs through your body to perform various functions. One such example of this bioelectricity is the nerve signals that power thoughts in ...

Specific immune cells have the ability to produce a healing factor that can promote wound repair in the intestine, a finding that could lead to new, potential therapeutic treatments for inflammatory ...

I’ve heard the term epibole used for wound healing but don’t understand exactly what it is, how to recognize it or what the proper treatment is. Can you explain? Epibole is a form of wound healing ...

The epithelium is a type of tissue that covers many different surfaces on the inside and the outside of your body. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together and serve as a barrier between the ...

A new discovery of differences between the eyes of people with and without diabetes could point to new approaches for treating diabetic keratopathy, as well as other diabetes-related wound healing ...

Transforming growth factor-βs (TGF-βs), expressed in various tissues, play important roles in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis through their effects on cell proliferation, cell ...
