Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a previously unknown process used by epithelial cells to alleviate ...

Epithelial cells in urine test: Part of a urinalysis, this test counts the number of epithelial cells in your urine sample. A high number can indicate a problem like a urinary tract infection ...

The fibroblasts were directly converted into iPULs (induced pulmonary epithelial-like cells)—functionally akin to native AT2 ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

Epithelial conversation An epithelial cell-coated microelectrode array with 60 precisely placed electrodes detects the minute electric signals generated when the cells are injured. (Courtesy: UMass ...

Neurons talk to one another using electricity. If you could hear these impulses, they might sound like constant, rapid-fire chatter all over the nervous system. Heart muscle cells do something similar ...

Heart muscle cells do something similar, issuing electrical “heave-ho” signals that make the organ beat. Skin and other epithelial cells, however, were thought to be silent; they form barrier ...

Granick and Yu used an epithelial-cell-coated chip with 60 precisely placed electrodes to eavesdrop. Yu, a cell-culture expert, grew a single layer of human epithelial cells on the chip, which ...

The epithelial cells must migrate over the epithelial defect. This step requires healthy limbal stem cells and residual peripheral epithelium. It also requires stored epithelial cell glycogen as ...

Patients with limbal epithelial-cell deficiency in one eye only, or in both eyes but affecting different areas of the limbus in the two eyes, may be treated by transplantation of autologous limbal ...
