The device used to control membrane voltage in living cells involves an array of bioelectronic proton pumps that add or remove hydrogen ions from solution next to cultured human stem cells. The system is controlled by a machine learning algorithm that tracks how the membrane voltage responds to stimuli from the proton pumps. (Photos by Jack Selberg)

Bioelectronic device achieves unprecedented control of cell membrane voltage

In an impressive proof-of-concept demonstration, an interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a bioelectronic system driven by a machine learning algorithm that can shift the membrane voltage in living cells and maintain it at a set point for 10 hours. Every living cell maintains a voltage... Read More
