Scientists have continually been seeking better ways to track the electrical activity of the body's most excitable cells, such as neurons, heart muscle fibers and pancreatic cells. These tiny ...
Animal bodies are crackling with electrical signals. Even before development is complete, electric fields guide the movement and arrangement of embryonic cells. 1 In adults, neurons communicate with ...
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 ...
