Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Faulty bioelectric signaling has been found to be responsible for the skull and facial abnormalities that characterize the rare genetic disorder Andersen-Tawil Syndrome (ATS). It may therefore be ...

A new method developed by researchers at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) can potentially ensure patient safety for future stem cell-based therapies, by enhancing native stem cell ...
