研究人员发现皮肤细胞可以发出长距离电讯 帮助伤口愈合 Researchers discover skin cells can send long-distance electrical signals to aid wound healing.

马萨诸塞州Amherst大学的研究人员发现,皮肤和器官内衬细胞,称为上皮细胞,可以产生电子信号,在长距离内传递受伤信息,有可能帮助伤口愈合。 Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that skin and organ lining cells, called epithelial cells, can generate electrical signals to communicate injury over long distances, potentially aiding in wound healing. 这些缓慢的信号持续长达5小时,可能导致新的生物医学装置,例如电子绷带。 These slow signals, which last up to five hours, could lead to new biomedical devices like electronic bandages. 视察队用激光将芯片上的细胞切开,用电极监测电变化。 The team used a laser to wound cells on a chip and monitored the electrical changes with electrodes.
