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.

Quantum biological electron transfer (QBET) is an important biological activity that is influenced by quantum mechanical factors such as electron tunneling (ET). This mechanism, which includes ...

The brain’s natural defenses can make tumors in this part of the body difficult to treat, but scientists have found some early success using electrical fields in laboratory models. The technique ...

Glioblastomas are one of the most malignant and lethal cancers. Despite recent treatment advancements, median survival is only 12 to 16 months. In 2015, the Optune device, a novel, non-invasive ...

Researchers provide an update on how electrical impulses in the heart travel from cell to cell. The connections between cells forming the low resistance pathway and facilitating the current flow are ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it relentlessly to stay alive. Proteins twist, ions rush, and membranes flex as life ...

PHILADELPHIA – The transfer of a neurotransmitter from one type of skin cell to another (melanocytes to keratinocytes) altered electrical activity and promoted melanoma initiation in preclinical ...
