Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

INSIGHT

Bioelectric Triggers for Regeneration

  • Bioelectric signals can trigger complex organ regeneration, like eyes, without micromanaging the process.
  • These signals act as subroutines, activating existing developmental modules in the organism.
  • Modified cells recruit neighboring, unmodified cells to participate in the regeneration, demonstrating a multi-level instruction process.
  • This modularity and triggering approach is crucial for regenerative medicine, as it simplifies complex biological processes.
