New research describes how nerve cells and muscle cells communicate through electrical signals during development -- a phenomenon known as bioelectricity. The communication, which takes place via ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to ...

Recently, Paul George, an assistant professor of neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University, and his team applied insights from the field of developmental bioelectricity to regenerate ...

Bioelectrical signals among cells control and instruct embryonic brain development and manipulating these signals can repair genetic defects and induce development of healthy brain tissue in locations ...

Researchers have identified endogenous electric fields in developing embryos that guide the migration of neural crest cells, essential for forming facial bones and the nervous system. The enzyme ...

Mustafa Djamgoz’s interest in bioelectricity began with the first-hand experience of electricity coursing through his own biology. As a teenager growing up on the island of Cyprus, Djamgoz and a ...

In the summer of 1986, futuristic magnetic trains and life-size robots drew a teenaged Michael Levin to the Vancouver World’s Expo. But what changed his life was an obscure used book he found on the ...

New Rochelle, NY, January 16, 2018 - Bioelectricity, an influential and dynamic meeting place for the rapidly growing bioelectricity community and the peer-reviewed journal of record will be published ...

In the near future, birth defects, traumatic injuries, limb loss and perhaps even cancer could be cured through bioelectricity—electrical signals that communicate to our cells how to rebuild ...

A question left unanswered in a biologist’s lab notebook for 40 years has finally been explained, thanks to a little fish that couldn’t wriggle its tail. New research from the University of Oregon ...
