Electric field-mediated cell migration is a fundamental biophysical process whereby cells respond to electrical cues and migrate directionally, a phenomenon often termed galvanotaxis or electrotaxis.

Scientists in Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking, label-free method to identify aging human cells using electric fields. This new technique avoids the downsides of chemical tagging, which can ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

Yashashree Kulkarni, University of Houston Bill D. Cook Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, is challenging conventional theories of how cells detect electrical fields. The human body is ...
