Basky_indya:

tadpole lo electric charge untundi ani chinnapudu vinna




tadpoles ke kadu anni cells ki voltage untundi anta- membrane potential :-)

Okahyderabadi:

VOW




Yeah..If they can realise this potential(pun intended) en masse , think of the organ farms for transplants - corneas, kidneys, hearts :-)

Anand_n:

Just came across this news - it is a month old but do not recall seeing this being discussed :-)

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/336783/descriptio n/Building_the_body_electric

Led by developmental biologist Michael Levin of Tufts University in Medford, Mass., the researchers manipulated cells in the tadpole�s gut to take on a specific electrical state. Those cells developed into a fully formed eye. Inducing just the right electrical state in cells can lead to eye growth anywhere on the body, the team reports online December 7 in Development.

Bizarre as the experiment sounds, it is a major step toward regenerating complex organs and limbs. One day, Levin says, someone who loses an arm or leg might be able to slip on a special sleeve that will electrically stimulate cells at the wound site to regrow the missing limb.

The study �opens up a huge door to new therapies in regenerative medicine using electricity,�


VOW
In history there is no such thing as the last word on any subject research leads to new things every day
