Endogenous Bioelectric Gradients Guide Limb Regeneration in Axolotls Without Genetic Modification
Nature Bioelectricity · Feb 2026 · DOI: 10.1038/s41594-026-0412-7
Researchers at Tufts mapped the precise voltage gradients that govern axolotl limb regrowth — and showed that externally mimicking those gradients can induce partial regeneration in frog tissue, a species that normally cannot regenerate limbs at all.
Potassium ion waves propagate through entire biofilm colonies every few minutes, synchronizing metabolic activity in ways that suggest a primitive form of electrical coordination — a potential Achilles' heel for antibiotic resistance.
