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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists Found Cells That Defy the Rules of Reproduction—and Could Change Biology Mitosis is no longer just what you learned in high school. By Elizabeth Rayne Published: May 06, 2025 1:00 PM EDT ...

Epithelial cells remove precancerous cells by cell competition via MHC class I–LILRB3 interaction. Nature Immunology , 2021; 22 (11): 1391 DOI: 10.1038/s41590-021-01045-6 Cite This Page : ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
