In the summer of 1986, futuristic magnetic trains and life-size robots drew a teenaged Michael Levin to the Vancouver World’s Expo. But what changed his life was an obscure used book he found on the ...

At first glance, Mike Levin's lab looks like any standard biology lab with its shelves of petri dishes containing small, brown, semitransparent flatworms called planaria, one of the organisms his lab ...

For the first time, scientists have altered natural bioelectrical communication among cells to directly specify the type of new organ to be created at a particular location within a vertebrate ...

Mustafa Djamgoz’s interest in bioelectricity began with the first-hand experience of electricity coursing through his own biology. As a teenager growing up on the island of Cyprus, Djamgoz and a ...

MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (February 1, 2013) Biologists at Tufts University School of Arts and Sciences have discovered a bioelectric signal that can identify cells that are likely to develop into ...

Researchers have found that cells’ bioelectrical communication steers growth and development. It is hoped that if the code can be learned, manipulating cellular signaling could be used to stave off ...

In addition to its visual camouflage, the Common cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) has a stealth technology to protect itself from predators that might detect it in the electrical spectrum. The ...
