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

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, serving ...

To enhance the potential of LCM and to overcome some of the limitations of other methods, we have developed a rapid, simple procedure for enrichment of normal and tumor cells called epithelial ...

Further research can help identify those other ion channels and pathways that allow epithelial cells to generate bioelectricity. Our discovery that epithelial cells can electrically speak up during a ...

For a long time, it was believed that only nerve and heart cells utilized electrical impulses for communication, while epithelial cells which form the linings of human skin, organs, and body cavities ...
