Did you know that secretly… we are all electricians? Every single cell in your body—from your skin to your brain—runs on electricity. You are literally powered by ion flows, voltage gradients, and tiny biological batteries humming inside your tissues right now.

We're exploring developmental bioelectricity—the study of how cells use electrical signals to shape bodies, heal wounds, and even regenerate missing organs. Most people think electricity in the body only happens in the brain or the heart. But modern research has shown that every cell has a voltage, called the resting membrane potential.
