Biomedical imaging with light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS) is a novel optical technology developed to probe the structure of living epithelial cells in situ without need for tissue removal.

Now, US researchers have discovered that the epithelial cells that line our skin and organs are able to signal the same way to communicate peril. They just use a long, slow 'scream', rather than the ...

A breakthrough discovery has revealed that skin cells communicate using a slow, electrical language of their own.

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

Yu, a cell-culture expert, grew a single layer of human epithelial cells on the chip, which detected minute electric shifts. Using a precise laser to produce “sting” patterns of individual ...

Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for themselves.

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 ...

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, which ...
