Wearable sensors hold great potential in empowering personalized health monitoring,
predictive analytics, and timely intervention toward personalized healthcare. Advances in …

Wound healing is a complex process that involves the coordinated actions of many different
tissues and cell lineages. It requires tight orchestration of cell migration, proliferation, matrix …

Our traditional understanding of phenotypic plasticity in adult somatic cells comprises
dedifferentiation and transdifferentiation in the context of tissue regeneration or wound …

Tissue repair is critical for animal survival. The skin epidermis is particularly exposed to
injuries, which necessitates rapid repair. The coordinated action of distinct epidermal stem …

INTRODUCTION Tissue stem cells respond to and integrate environmental cues to
determine their fate and function. Injury induces radical changes in the microenvironment …

Tissues have a natural capacity to replace dying cells and to heal wounds. This ability
resides in resident stem cells, which self-renew, preserve, and repair their tissue during …

Papillomaviruses have evolved over many millions of years to propagate themselves at
specific epithelial niches in a range of different host species. This has led to the great …

Salt and fluid absorption and secretion are two processes that are fundamental to epithelial
function and whole body fluid homeostasis, and as such are tightly regulated in epithelial …

The skin protects mammals from insults, infection and dehydration and enables
thermoregulation and sensory perception. Various skin-resident cells carry out these diverse …

Background At the surface of body organs, epithelial tissues must withstand harsh external
environments. To do so, they rely heavily upon stem cells to replenish and repair wounds …
