Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...
Scientists discover "electric spiking" communication in previously thought to be mute cells, paving the way for bioelectric ...
Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...
In a nutshell While scratching worsens allergic skin conditions like eczema by increasing inflammation, it also activates a ...
Your cells constantly generate and conduct electricity that runs through your body to perform various functions. One such ...
Researchers discovered that epithelial cells that line human skin are able to communicate danger to the body through a silent ...
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, ...
Now, US researchers have discovered that the epithelial cells that line our skin and organs are able to signal the same way ...
Epithelial cells "talk" to each other with slow electrical signals, and "scream" to their neighbors when injured, new ...
“We tracked how cells coordinated their response,” Yu explained. “It’s a slow-motion, excited conversation.” Unlike the swift neurotransmitter bursts of nerve cells, epithelial cells ...
