Studies have shown that cells respond to electric fields; electrotaxis is when cells are moving under the influence of an electric field. Electrotaxis is thought to be involved in several important ...

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain.

Shifts in electrical activity are known to take place in various cells in the human body, such as those in the heart that facilitate blood flow and the neurons that coordinate the many functions of ...

Electric field-mediated cell migration is a fundamental biophysical process whereby cells respond to electrical cues and migrate directionally, a phenomenon often termed galvanotaxis or electrotaxis.

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 ...

Quantum biological electron transfer (QBET) is an important biological activity that is influenced by quantum mechanical factors such as electron tunneling (ET). This mechanism, which includes ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system. This ...

The brain’s natural defenses can make tumors in this part of the body difficult to treat, but scientists have found some early success using electrical fields in laboratory models. The technique ...

One of the most ambitious projects in the new frontier of electric aviation is the Flying Fuel Cell concept, a hydrogen-electric hybrid system being actively pursued by several European aerospace ...
