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

For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn’t ...

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

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 ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...
