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 ...

Both are epithelial cells, a cell type that forms barriers such as skin and mucous membranes, and also lines organs and body cavities. After blasting some cells with lasers, Yu measured tiny ...

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 ...
