Direct-current (DC) electric fields are present in all developing and regenerating animal
tissues, yet their existence and potential impact on tissue repair and development are largely …

Cells undergo a variety of physiological processes, including division, migration and
differentiation, under the influence of endogenous electrical cues, which are generated …

Steady direct current (dc) electric fields exist in many biological systems over many hours. At
these times cells are dividing, differentiating, moving to final locations and extending motile …

Wound healing is essential for maintaining the integrity of multicellular organisms. In every
species studied, disruption of an epithelial layer instantaneously generates endogenous …

Controlling cell division is fundamental. One environmental cue that exerts profound control
over both the orientation and frequency of cell division in vivo is a naturally occurring, wound…

Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1), identified by positional cloning of a balanced translocation
(1;11) with the breakpoint in intron 8 of a large Scottish pedigree, is associated with a …

Directed cell migration is essential for tissue formation, inflammation, and wound healing.
Chemotaxis plays a major role in these situations and is underpinned by asymmetric …
