As bioengineers, we became interested in the epithelial cells that make up human skin and the outer layer of people’s intestinal tissues. These cells aren’t known to be able to generate bioelectricity ...

Observations of electrical signal propagation across colonies of epithelial cells suggest they may be able to communicate, ...

Now, US researchers have discovered that the epithelial cells that line our skin and organs are able to signal the same way ...

Epithelial cells, the most abundant cells in the body, line internal organs and the outmost layer of the skin. These cells ...

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, ...

HDAC6 is upregulated in corneal diseases and causes ENKD1 deacetylation at lysine 98. Deacetylation of ENKD1 blocks its ...

The cornea -- the clear outermost layer of the eye -- can become irreversibly ... treatment is called cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells, or CALEC. "Our first trial in four patients ...

Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for themselves.

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 ...
