A new skin-like sensor developed by an international team led by researchers at Penn State could help doctors monitor vital signs more accurately, track healing after surgery and even help patients ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have created an improved method for turning genes on and off using electrical signals. Researchers, led by experts at Imperial College London, have developed a new method that allows gene ...
