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.
Geobacter species transfer electrons across centimeters of sediment, behaving like living electrical cables. Researchers now want to farm this process for clean energy.
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.
