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

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Epithelial cells, previously thought to be silent, have been found to communicate using slow electrical signals, similar to nerve impulses but 1,000 times slower ...

To our surprise, however, we found that wounded epithelial cells can propagate electrical signals across dozens of cells that persist for several hours. In this newly published research ...

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

The majority (84.1%) of tumours had ductal histology; 6.3% were lobular and ... probably comes from the stroma itself rather than epithelial cells. However, epithelial–mesenchymal transition ...

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, ...
