Biophysicist Susy Kohout explores how cells respond to electrical cues, shedding light on the connection between cell ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

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 ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called synapses, according to a study led by Stanford Medicine researchers. The ...

When scientists applied electric current to human neural stem cells injected into rats’ brains, the cells moved toward the animals’ subventricular zone and lateral ventricle, instead of toward their ...

Researchers have developed a novel method for simultaneously recording action potentials (APs)—temporary changes in electrical potential when cells become excited—and calcium transients—calcium ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute have found that some particularly aggressive lung cancer cells can develop their own electric network, like that seen in the body's nervous system. This ...
