Prokaryotic biofilms represent highly organised microbial communities in which cells are embedded within a self-produced matrix and adhere to surfaces ranging from living tissue to industrial ...

For the first time, scientists have succeeded in artificially mimicking the ion signaling of heart muscle cells. To succeed, ...

A new multi-channel in vitro stimulator helps researchers study how cells respond to electrical signals, advancing insights in neuroscience and regenerative medicine. (Nanowerk News) While we usually ...

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.

Researchers have developed tough, conductive RBA hydrogels using a hyperbranched multi-arm crosslinking strategy. The ...

Electrical synapses containing Connexin 36 (Cx36) represent the main means for direct electrical communication among neurons in the mammalian nervous system. However, little is kn ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...
