It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells — which ...

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

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...
