Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Researchers discovered that epithelial cells that line human skin are able to communicate danger to the body through a silent ...

while epithelial cells — which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities — are mute, serving mostly as ...

Scientists discover "electric spiking" communication in previously thought to be mute cells, paving the way for bioelectric ...

We found that wounded epithelial cells can send bioelectric signals to neighboring cells over distances more than 40 times their body length with voltages similar to those of neurons. The shapes ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

In this newly published research, we were able to show that even epithelial cells use bioelectricity to coordinate with their ...
