Experiments in fruit fly larvae show that epidermal cells can communicate with sensory neurons to drive responses to pain.

The research team discovered that residual cells do not merely remain after abscission; instead, they transform into epidermal cells through a three-step process, forming protective cuticle layers.

1. The initial formation of the root hair is indicated by a general swelling of the outer wall of the epidermal cell. 2. The swelling is produced if the physical resistance of the wall is overbalanced ...

A cell’s primary cilia function like antennae. Operating like a 24/7 news outlet, these hairlike structures are present on ...

In human epidermis, the molecular events that orchestrate cell death leading to proper barrier formation by the stratum corneum must be properly timed and coordinated for terminal differentiation ...

and plant cells, Mäkinen and her colleagues sought insights from plant epidermal cells, which also endure pressure-induced strain from fluid fluxes to stay upright. In a new study published in Nature, ...

The potential of computational chemistry to revolutionise cancer treatment in Nigeria represents a paradigm shift in medical ...
