This leads to lysis of the epithelial cells and invasive amoebiasis resulting in colitis ... Eosinophils and larvae may be found in sputum. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding characteristic Ascaris ...

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.

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 ...

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, ...
