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

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 do things that no one has ever thought to look for," says Granick. "When injured, they 'scream' to their neighbors, slowly, persistently and over surprising distances. It's like ...

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 ...

To our surprise, however, we found that wounded epithelial cells can propagate electrical signals across dozens of cells that persist for several hours. In this newly published research ...

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, ...
