Cells are also known to experience electrical changes when they become cancerous, with the surrounding cell membrane taking on a more positive charge that can promote their spread.

Then, when cells encounter this gradient, Vsp1 transforms the electrical signals into a directional cue, telling the cells which way to go, and collective cell migration results.

Princeton researchers have created a device that can herd groups of cells like sheep, precisely directing the cells’ movements by manipulating electric fields to mimic those found in the body during ...

The method, published on Jan. 14 in Nature Communications, relies on recording electrical signals from outside the cells and using AI to reconstruct the signals within the cells with impressive ...

During a heart attack, heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue. This delays the electrical conduction in the heart and favours the onset of cardiac arrhythmia. To reduce this ...
