Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...
Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...
A recent study by the Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research (HITBR) at the Central Institute of Mental Health ...
Epithelial cells "talk" to each other with slow electrical signals, and "scream" to their neighbors when injured, new ...
Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But ...
Neurons collected from brain lesions in MS patients were found to accumulate new genetic mutations faster than healthy nerve ...
“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 ...
It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of ...
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, serving ...
