Your cells constantly generate and conduct electricity that runs through your body to perform various functions. One such ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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

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

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 ...

“Our skin, by far, is exposed to the most amount of oxidative stress,” he added. That can lead to a host of issues, from skin aging and sleep problems to heart disease, kidney disease and cancer. It ...

This chip was coated with a single layer of lab-grown human keratinocytes, the main epithelial cells that make up the ...

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 ...
