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

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

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

The electric skin cell signals, which move at glacial pace compared to those in nerve cells, may play a role in initiating healing.

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 protect us like vigilant sentinels against the onslaught of harmful pathogens. This extraordinary defense owes its strength to epithelial cells—specialized tissues woven ...

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 interview Prof. Dr. Kristina Kusche-Vihrog speaks about the nanomechanics of living cells and their implications for ...

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