We are used to thinking of DNA as the fundamental instruction manual that tells cells in the biological world how to behave and interact with neighboring cells: by knowing DNA and how it is read, we can understand everything about how organisms develop and regenerate, and help them in the process when they fail. But according to new research, there is another layer of information that guides cells in the construction of organs, systems and living organisms, and it is written in the language of electricity: currents that flow between cells and orchestrate – like a computer program – the processes of development and regeneration. Decoding this electrical code could allow us to find new solutions to the problems posed by medicine and the environmental crisis.
