Role of Bioelectricity During Cell Proliferation in Different Cell Types.

ABSTRACT: Most living organisms possess varying degrees of regenerative capabilities but how these regenerative processes are controlled is still poorly understood. Naturally occurring bioelectric voltages (like V_mem) are thought to be playing instructive role in tissue regeneration, as well as embryonic development. The different distribution of ions on the either side of the cell membrane results in intra- and extra-cellular voltage differences, known as membrane potential or V_mem. The relationship between V_mem and cell physiology is conserved in a wide range of cell types and suggests that V_mem regulation is a fundamental control mechanism for regeneration related processes e.g., proliferation and differentiation. In the present study we measured V
