Skin Cells Communicate by 'Screaming' With Each Other Over Long Distances During Injuries, Say Scientists Experts continually are trying to understand how the human body responds to stimuli. Over the ...

Researchers discovered that epithelial cells that line human skin are able to communicate danger to the body through a silent ...

Your skin might not be as quiet as you think. In fact, according to two American researchers, it may be "screaming" when ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

Discover how psoriasis affects immune function and the role of SSAT1 in this chronic skin condition. Learn more now.

Scientists discover "electric spiking" communication in previously thought to be mute cells, paving the way for bioelectric ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...

In a potentially major breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists at MIT have developed a way to convert skin cells ...

A new process for converting skin cells to neurons directly could make it easier to develop therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.

Working with mouse cells, the researchers developed a conversion method that is highly efficient and can produce more than 10 neurons from a single skin cell. If replicated in human cells, this ...

MIT researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord ...

Now, US researchers have discovered that the epithelial cells that line our skin and organs are able to signal the same way to communicate peril. They just use a long, slow 'scream', rather than the ...
