Using a newly devised, three-dimensional model to study the regeneration of nerve tissue in the nose, researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical ...

Our skin’s epithelial cells send electrical signals like neurons to cry out for help ...

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

Scientists detect distress signals from epithelial cells for the first time, revealing new insights into cell communication and disease response.

Results Type of Fluorescent Cells in the Nasal Smears Ciliated cylindrical epithelial cells.

Find out what you need to know about the epithelium, including where epithelial cells are located in your body and how they affect your health.

This article explains how and why urine undergoes testing for epithelial cells, what the results mean, and which conditions cause an increase in epithelial cells.

The nose appears to know when it comes to why children typically have milder cases of COVID-19 than seniors, a new study finds.

Three days later, viewed under a microscope, the nasal epithelial cells - as they are known - taken from children were quick to defend against the virus and reduce viral load. But this protective ...

From sniffing out diseases and explosives, to some clever animal and dinosaur adaptations for life, the nose and its broad olfactory functions are an important, if somewhat underappreciated, part ...

The researchers next tested the direct effect of very low doses of cadmium on normal human airway epithelial cells. These cells were grown on an air-liquid interface that allows the airway cells to ...
