All cells can generate bioelectric signals through their plasma membrane, and therefore naturally exist in our bodies. Cancer growth interferes with local ionic, membrane and epithelium environments, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Your cells constantly generate and conduct electricity that runs through your body to perform various functions. One such example ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a way to achieve an ultra-high bioelectric signal from human embryonic stem cells. Using direct current-voltage methods and few-layered 2D molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) ...

Although breast cancer mortality has declined in the U.S., it is still the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in women under 60 years old. "This suggests there are ...

Mustafa Djamgoz’s interest in bioelectricity began with the first-hand experience of electricity coursing through his own biology. As a teenager growing up on the island of Cyprus, Djamgoz and a ...

Near the entrance to Michael Levin's lab at Tufts, four deer antlers are mounted on wooden boxes. They represent an incredible feat of regeneration in mammals: Deer shed their antlers annually and ...

In research that extends knowledge about the physiology of regeneration and wound repair, biologists have discovered that amputation of one limb is immediately reflected in the bioelectric properties ...

Researchers led by biologists at Tufts University have discovered that the brains of developing frog embryos damaged by nicotine exposure can be repaired by treatment with certain drugs called ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For the first time, Singaporean researchers have developed a method using two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D-MoS2) sheets to achieve ultra-high bioelectric signals from ...
