For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn’t ...

Scientists at Université de Montréal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) have identified a dynamic structure that forms a network on the surface of epithelial cells. Led by ...

In wound healing, immune response, and cancer metastasis, cells migrate through the body—often squeezing through narrow, confined spaces. Together with experimental collaborators, Professor David ...

Understanding how wounds heal after injury could be a step closer thanks to a new mathematical model developed by researchers at the University of Bristol. The study, published in Physical Review ...

Researchers have found that serum from younger blood can be combined with bone marrow cells and injected into older skin cells, producing rejuvenating effects. This is known as heterochronic ...

New research has updated the understanding of how sugars, known as glycans, help immune cells move into the skin in the inflammatory disease, psoriasis. The paper titled "Leukocytes have a heparan ...

How the skin enables immune defences is not fully clear. Now a pathway has been found in skin cells that boosts the production of antibodies to protect the whole body. Beyond its role as a physical ...

Converting one type of cell to another—for example, a skin cell to a neuron—can be done through a process that requires the skin cell to be induced into a "pluripotent" stem cell, then differentiated ...
