1). The authors explored the ways electric fields control wound healing, first by using an assay in which a small area of a monolayer of epithelial cells is scratched. Over time, the neighboring ...

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

Epithelial (skin) cells create a new surface over the wound. This process is faster when the wound is kept clean and moist. Remodeling is the last phase of the wound-healing process. The wound ...

Wound healing serves an important function in biology, as it enables the tissue maintenance that maintains compartmentalization of cell types that drives various processes, including the barrier ...

Immune cells are known to “remember” infections and inflammatory events so that they can respond faster to future insults, but what about the epithelial stem cells that maintain the skin and promote ...

"A long time lag in wound healing could cause developmental delays ... Most computer models of epithelial tissues—the outer regions of organs—consider the tissue as a single entity.

It has anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring effects and contains growth factors that promote epithelial wound healing on the surface of the eye. AMT has been found to be a good alternative for ...

And just as an individual cell has a voltage, so does this epithelial tissue as a whole ... that augmenting or damping the naturally occurring electricity could accelerate or completely halt the ...

We study the chemical and physical mechanisms by which intact tissues detect wounds to initiate healing, inflammation, regeneration, and cancer. We address these mechanisms by quantitative imaging in ...
