The electric skin cell signals, which move at glacial pace compared to those in nerve cells, may play a role in initiating healing.

In their current study, which has been published in the journal eLife, the researchers investigated its effect on human nerve cells that they had cultivated from stem cells. The result ...

Leibniz Institute for Primate Research and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics have discovered ...

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

In their current study, which has been published in the journal eLife, the researchers investigated its effect on human nerve cells that they had cultivated from stem cells. The result: even a single ...

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

The brain runs on energy. Every thought, memory, or emotion sparks countless signals between nerve cells. That communication ...

Research in mice identifies protein responsible for regulating gut movement in response to pressure, exercise, and ...

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, ...

New research reveals that parrots produce speech using brain structures remarkably similar to those in humans.
