Bioelectricity, the electric properties of cells, has long been recognized in neuromuscular systems. However, recent discoveries reveal that bioelectricity is a universal and fundamental aspect of all ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents flowing through our bodies. We’re used to thinking of the brain as an ...

‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells. A new study by Scripps Research scientists reveals a ...

Senescence is a process in which a cell ages and stops dividing but does not die. In keratinocytes, or skin cells, senescence is marked by depolarization of membrane potential (Vmem), the electrical ...

That's the work of the artistic and musical project called Bionic and the Wires. (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) JONATHAN PAUL ROSS: We take the electrical signals, and then we convert those into musical notes.

Bionic and the Wires is a band that makes music by turning the electrical activity of fungi into playable sounds. That's the work of the artistic and musical project called Bionic and the Wires.

Changing natural electrical signaling in non-neural cells improves innate immune response to bacterial infections and injury. Tadpoles that received therapeutics, including those used in humans for ...
