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 ...

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

Single-cell characterization of healthy fallopian tubes revealed shifts in cell and gene expression throughout the menstrual ...

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 ...

Epithelial cells defend human skin and mucous membranes. Specialized structures known as “junctions” enable this “barrier” tissue to carry out its role. They control interactions between cells and ...

The authors have generated important resources such as a reference dataset of early primate development by utilizing single-cell transcriptomic technology together with induced pluripotent stem cells ...
