The World Health Organization (WHO) termed this disease "BPDCN" in 2008; previous names included blastic NK cell lymphoma and CD4+/CD56+ hematodermic neoplasm. Capillary leak syndrome (CLS ...

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, ...

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 ...

"Epithelial cells do things that no one has ever thought to look for," says Granick. "When injured, they 'scream' to their neighbors, slowly, persistently and over surprising distances. It's like ...

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 ...

While upper-tract transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) accounts for only 5% of urothelial malignancies, evidence suggests that the frequency of these lesions is increasing Radical nephroureterectomy ...

Non-Commercial (NC): Only non-commercial uses of the work are permitted. Background: the sophisticated cellular heterogeneity of cell populations in glioblastoma (GBM) has been a key factor ...

An expert discusses the patient case of a man aged 62 years who is newly diagnosed with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). The patient initially presented to the dermatologist with ...

We cultured lung alveolar epithelial cells to confluence, the cells were starved for 24 h, and then wounded by scratching with a standard micropipette tip. Wound healing was assessed after 24 h under ...

Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are a mucosal immune barrier essential to coordinate host–microbe crosstalk. Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory syndrome with dysfunction in multiple organs including ...
