Cells lining your skin and organs can generate electricity when injured − potentially opening new doors to treating wounds
Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But researchers discovered they can produce electrical signals like neurons.
Slow, silent 'scream' of epithelial cells detected for first time
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 mostly as protective barriers that can absorb and secrete various substances.
Scientists found the silent 'scream' of human skin for...
The body you inhabit is made up of lots of moving parts that need to communicate with each other. Some of this communication – in the nervous system, for example – takes the form of bioelectrical signals that propagate through the body to trigger the appropriate response. 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... Click to expand... Clic…
