Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Targeting a single nerve promotes healing in rats with chronic intestinal inflammation. Can the same strategy work in humans?

A new protein sensor lets researchers see incoming brain signals, revealing how neurons process information tied to memory ...

Scientists at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have discovered specific patterns of electrical signals in the brain that may help forecast whether a person will go on to develop Alzheimer’s ...

Cerebral blood delivery depends on mechanisms such as electrical signaling, which propagates through capillary networks to upstream arterioles to deliver blood, and calcium signaling, which fine-tunes ...

What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut.

Insurers are no longer treating electrical problems as background noise. As loss data and real time monitoring sharpen their ...

Every movement you make and every memory you form depends on precise communication between neurons. When that communication is disrupted, the brain must rapidly rebalance its internal signaling to ...

Human beings and other animals send electrical signals via the central nervous system. The Venus flytrap, which lacks such a nervous system, also sends rapid electrical impulses, which are generated ...

A type of novel molecular voltage sensor makes it possible to watch nerve cells at work. The principle of the method has been known for some time. However, researchers at the University of Bonn and ...
