Power around your cells? Scientists found a hidden energy clue
Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
Your cells constantly generate and conduct electricity that runs through your body to perform various functions. One such example of this bioelectricity is the nerve signals that power thoughts in ...
Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones. Dr Amy ...
A battery that needs feeding instead of charging? This is exactly what researchers have achieved with their 3D-printed, biodegradable fungal battery. The living battery could supply power to sensors ...
Cells bumping against one another use electricity to identify which of their neighbors has the least energy to expel them. The King's College London study in partnership with the Francis Crick ...
Much like a city, the body relies on electricity to power its functions. Electrical currents keep the heart beating on pace, relax and contract muscles, and flow from neuron to neuron. To modulate the ...
Researchers have uncovered a surprising role for electricity in keeping our body’s protective cell layers healthy. Cells bumping against one another use electricity to identify which of their ...
