Bioelectricity is an ancient property of all living cells. A key "instructional signal" for guiding embryonic development, regeneration, and even diseases like cancer. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/mb… #Bioelectricity #CellBiology #RegenerativeMedicine #CancerResearch @drmichaellevin
Brain health depends on a delicate balance:Excitatory neurons = GO Inhibitory neurons = STOP. Imbalances linked to conditions like epilepsy (too much excitation) or associated with autism (too little). quantamagazine.org/how-the-brain-… #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #EIBalance #NeuralCircuits
Researchers @EPFL cracked the code on biological nanopores. Finding electrical charge and flexibility control ion flow, solves the "gating" mystery. They built a nanopore that mimics synaptic plasticity—learning like a synapse. This is a leap forward for biosensors and ion-based…
