For a long time, the scientific community viewed epithelial cells—the essential building blocks of our skin and organs—as mute entities. These cells were primarily recognized for their role in forming protective barriers rather than possessing any significant communicative abilities. Recent research out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst has radically shifted this perspective, revealing that
