2/21/12: Harnessing the Bioelectric Potential of Cells for Regeneration

Michael Levin, Ph.D., Vannevar Bush Professor in the Department of Biology, Tufts University, and Director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Minute voltage variations in cells orchestrate crucial functions such as anatomical development in the embryo, defense mechanisms against cancer, the repair and in some organisms regeneration of damaged organs and limbs.
