Caption Representative immunofluorescence images showing normal oral epithelial cells (left) and early stages of oral cancer (right, showing blue cells invading the stroma) just 20 days after ...

The cells are localised within specialised lymphoid tissue in the epithelial lining of the intestine called a Peyer's patch. Here, B and T cells interact to mediate an effective antibody response ...

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

As bioengineers, we became interested in the epithelial cells that make up human skin and the outer layer of people’s intestinal tissues. These cells aren’t known to be able to generate bioelectricity ...

Now, US researchers have discovered that the epithelial cells that line our skin and organs are able to signal the same way ...

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, ...

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 ...
