I was working just fine and suddenly when I changed from object to edit mode, neither vertices, edges nor faces were highlighted as usual. I can still select them but can't see them, the object is displayed as in object mode. It happens with all my objects in the scene. Does anybody know why this could happen? I'm using 2.8

The problem is that OVERLAYS is turned off, this feature is added in Blender 2.8, press the icon that looks like two intersecting circles next to Overlays.
enter image description here

In your image, it appears at the bottom of the 3D Viewport, by default it's at the top.

you have to click on the small button at the right bottom corner this small button at the left side of „overlays“ and on this button there are two spheres



Your problem was that you unchecked overlays so you can‘t see the wireframe of the object
