Many events that shape the developing animal embryos involve rearrangements of simple epithelial sheets into more complex three-dimensional structures, a process termed epithelial morphogenesis.

Simply put, the EMT process results in a 'transdifferentiation' of epithelial cells forming a highly organized, tightly connected sheet of cells into a disorganized motile population of ...

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

Epithelial cells, the most abundant cells in the body, line internal organs and the outmost layer of the skin. These cells ...

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular transdifferentiation program that enables epithelial cancer cells to acquire traits of high-grade malignancy, notably invasive and ...

This delicate procedure requires technical skill for the preparation of AM with attached corneal epithelial cells and surgical dexterity to manipulate the AM onto the ocular surface. As previously ...

In this procedure — known as "cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cell transplantation" — doctors take stem cells from ...

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 ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Epithelial cells, previously thought to be silent, have been found to communicate using slow electrical signals, similar to nerve impulses but 1,000 times slower ...
