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 …

The ability to control pattern formation is critical for the both the embryonic development of
complex structures as well as for the regeneration/repair of damaged or missing tissues and …

This paper provides a scientific foundation for the biofield: the complex, extremely weak
electromagnetic field of the organism hypothesized to involve electromagnetic …

Most but not all phyla include examples of species that are able to regenerate large sections
of the body plan. The mechanisms underlying regeneration on this scale are currently being …

Significant progress in the molecular investigation of endogenous bioelectric signals during
pattern formation in growing tissues has been enabled by recently developed techniques …

It has long been known that cells can be induced to migrate by the application of small dc
electric fields (EFs), a phenomenon referred to as galvanotaxis. We recently reported some …

Regeneration requires exquisite orchestration of growth and morphogenesis. A powerful but
still largely mysterious system of biophysical signals functions during regeneration …

In many systems, ion flows and long-term endogenous voltage gradients regulate patterning
events, but molecular details remain mysterious. To establish a mechanistic link between …

Background Control of stem cell behavior is a crucial aspect of developmental biology and
regenerative medicine. While the functional role of electrophysiology in stem cell biology is …

This review explores the historical and current state of our knowledge about urodele limb
regeneration. Topics discussed are (1) blastema formation by the proteolytic histolysis of …
