Molecularly defined serotonin (enterochromaffin) cells of the gut lining were distinguished by single-cell expression analysis, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry into 14 topographically ...

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

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

This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

The Indo-Japan team has standardized the tissue engineering procedure, engraftment of cells on epithelial surface, transport of buccal tissue from hospital to lab and harvested cells back to hospital ...

It is a well-known fact that food is one of the most critical factors influencing health. Some describe it as the “800-pound ...

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 ...

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 a recent, cross-institutional study, researchers report that healthy human airways are at higher risk for dehydration and inflammation when exposed to dry air, an occurrence expected to ...

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 ...

Slow, silent 'scream' of epithelial cells detected for first time Date: March 17, 2025 Source: University of Massachusetts Amherst Summary: It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells ...
