To our surprise, however, we found that wounded epithelial cells can propagate electrical ... for electric signals on a different part of the cell layer. Microelectrode arrays detect electrical ...

As bioengineers, we became interested in the epithelial cells that make up human ... for electric signals on a different part ...

Granick and Yu used an epithelial-cell-coated chip with 60 precisely placed electrodes to eavesdrop. Yu, a cell-culture expert, grew a single layer of human epithelial cells on the chip ...

this can lead to abnormal cell growth and division, and can result in cancerous tumors. “The prevalence of mutant clones increases with age to occupy roughly 8% of the gastric epithelial lining ...

His team’s curiosity-driven approach, blending polymer science and biology, unveiled this hidden cellular signaling. Granick and Yu used an epithelial-cell-coated chip with 60 precisely placed ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial ... hair cells lining the inner ear are exposed. A deeper investigation into the role of gamma-actin in maintaining cell integrity could ...

The researchers found a clear difference in the composition of cell types, with a higher proportion of so-called epithelial cells and a lower proportion of stromal cells in the uteruses of women ...
