Emerging Intracellular Electrical Phenomena: Implications for Paradigm Shifts in Biological Chemistry Research

Summary of the article  The human body depends on electrical charges for many biological processes, including brain activity and nerve impulses. Previously, it was believed that cellular membranes were necessary to create an electrical charge imbalance. However, recent research from Stanford University has shown that a similar electrical imbalance can exist between microdroplets of water and air. Now, researchers from Duke University have discovered that these types of electric fields also exist within and around biological condensates, a type of cellular structure. These structures form compartments inside the cell without needing the physical boundary of a membrane. The researchers discovered that when environmental conditions are right, a previously unknown phenomenon occurs in these biological condensates, which creates a redox reaction that produces tiny amounts of hydrogen peroxide. This discovery could change the way researchers think about biological chemistry and provide a clu

Synthetic embryo with brain and beating heart created without sperm and egg

  In case of totipotent plant cells it is possible for the single cell to give rise to the entire plant. This thing was experimentally done in plants and is in practice since the early 20s, but in case of animals an egg from the maternal side and sperm from the parental side are required for the formation a new one. But recently the scientists in the university of Cambridge have created the embryo of the mouse with a brain and the beating heart, well to create the embryo isn't the great accomplishment but the achievement is that this embryo is created from the stem cells only without the involvement of the sperm or egg. This represents a fresh way to recreate the beginnings of life. Stem cells which are often considered as the raw materials of the body cuz from these cells all the cells in the body involved with any systems with specialized functions are generated. Professor Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz with his co workers used this special cells to develop the embryonic model instead
