Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a previously unknown process used by epithelial cells to alleviate ...

Little is known about how mitotic cells round against epithelial confinement. Here, we engineer micropillar arrays that subject cells to lateral mechanical confinement similar to that experienced ...

As fruitfly epithelial cells round up during mitosis, tricellular junctions serve as spatial landmarks, encoding information about interphase cell shape directionality to orient mitosis, and ...

Epithelial conversation An epithelial cell-coated microelectrode array with 60 precisely placed electrodes detects the minute electric signals generated when the cells are injured. (Courtesy: UMass ...

Find out what you need to know about the epithelium, including where epithelial cells are located in your body and how they affect your health. Skip to main content . Home ; Conditions .

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 ...

Heart muscle cells do something similar, issuing electrical “heave-ho” signals that make the organ beat. Skin and other epithelial cells, however, were thought to be silent; they form barrier ...

Researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these attachments ...

The epithelial cells must migrate over the epithelial defect. This step requires healthy limbal stem cells and residual peripheral epithelium. It also requires stored epithelial cell glycogen as ...

Circulating blood is known to contain stem cells that can completely restore hematopoiesis after ablation of the bone marrow. 12,13 Recently, mesenchymal stem cells with a capacity for self ...

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 ...
