Jumbo Researchers Make Breakthrough Discovery About Adult Stem Cell Behavior A study published by three Tufts scientists last month offers groundbreaking insight into regenerative science, showing that bio-electrical signals play a major role in determining the behavior of adult stem cells. In their paper, titled "Membrane Potential Controls Adipogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells," the scientists discuss a new way to control the behavior of adult stem cells using electrical impulses. In previous studies around the world, stem cell manipulation had been conducted using chemical signals. |
