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.

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

“Our lab uses different polymers to interact with the nervous system. We think there's a window after injury that seems to mirror development,” said Paul George, a physician scientist at Stanford ...

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

Various tissues and organs in the human body, such as nerves, heart, bones, and skin, rely on bioelectrical signals to maintain function and support ...

Yashashree Kulkarni, University of Houston Bill D. Cook Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is challenging conventional theories of how cells detect electrical fields. The human body is ...

A breakthrough study from Keck Medicine of USC may have found a powerful new triple therapy for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. By combining Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields), which ...

Scientists in Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking, label-free method to identify aging human cells using electric fields. This new technique avoids the downsides of chemical tagging, which can ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new way of telling "aged" human cells apart from younger ones using electric fields. While key markers have been found for these ...
