Observations of electrical signal propagation across colonies of epithelial cells suggest they may be able to communicate, ...

They examined the surrounding stromal tissue—the supportive connective tissue that interacts with epithelial cells. Their study, published in Cancer Discovery, found that certain progenitor ...

To find out, Coffman and her team turned to the stroma, the non-cancerous connective tissue that helps cancer grow. “Most researchers have been focused on the epithelial cells that turn into ...

Biomedical imaging with light-scattering spectroscopy (LSS) is a novel optical technology developed to probe the structure of living epithelial cells in situ without need for tissue removal.

To find out, Coffman and colleagues turned to the stroma, the non-cancerous connective tissue that helps cancer grow. Lan Coffman, MD, PhD “Most researchers have been focused on the epithelial ...
