Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

A new multi-channel in vitro stimulator helps researchers study how cells respond to electrical signals, advancing insights in neuroscience and regenerative medicine. (Nanowerk News) While we usually ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

When droplet-like structures called condensates collide with cell membranes, the interaction can alter the cell membrane’s electrical properties at the point of contact. This image shows a condensate ...

Scientists have continually been seeking better ways to track the electrical activity of the body's most excitable cells, such as neurons, heart muscle fibers and pancreatic cells. These tiny ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr Amy ...
