Findings (2)
finding
- Co-injection of a hyperpolarizing ion channel with oncogene prevented tumor formation and restored normal tissue, showing bioelectric control over genetic state.
- Transient bioelectric perturbation with ion channel drugs/RNAi permanently alters the number of heads regenerated even in subsequent rounds without further treatment, demonstrating bioelectric pattern memory.
