What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut.

Electrical signalling plays a pivotal role in how plants perceive and respond to their environment. Rapid electrical impulses, including action potentials (APs) and slower variation potentials (VPs), ...

This is because such electric signalling is involved in antibiotic uptake and leads to some bacteria surviving antibiotic exposure. In the study published in Advanced Science, scientists at the ...

A new multi-channel in vitro stimulator helps researchers study how cells respond to electrical signals, advancing insights in neuroscience and regenerative medicine. (Nanowerk News) While we usually ...

University of Warwick researchers discover rapid, jasmonate-driven, early immune response in plants using breakthrough ...

Targeting a single nerve promotes healing in rats with chronic intestinal inflammation. Can the same strategy work in humans?

Scientists at the Carney Institute for Brain Science have discovered specific patterns of electrical signals in the brain that may help forecast whether a person will go on to develop Alzheimer’s ...
