About this ebook
Bioelectricity explores the fascinating role of electrical signals as a fundamental language of life, governing processes from the simplest organisms to complex human physiology. It reveals how cells generate and respond to electrical signals and their diverse functions in normal physiology and disease. Bioelectricity isn't a mere byproduct; it's an active regulator influencing muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and even tissue regeneration. This book emphasizes that manipulating bioelectrical signals offers new avenues for treating various medical conditions and highlights how these signals act as instructive cues, guiding cell behavior and shaping tissue architecture during development and regeneration.
The book examines the biophysics of ion channels, membrane potentials, and electrical fields within cells and tissues, then progresses to specific examples in the nervous system, muscles, wound healing, and cancer. It presents experimental evidence from electrophysiological recordings, imaging studies, and genetic manipulations.
By integrating biology, physics, chemistry, and engineering, Bioelectricity offers a holistic understanding of electrical signaling in living systems and its potential applications in regenerative medicine.
