Fermentation can create an electrical gradient that the animals then use ... "So if there is an electric field, why not sense it?" Alternatively, it could help the animals avoid predation.

Then, when cells encounter this gradient, Vsp1 transforms the electrical ... This is the first experimental evidence to suggest that electric fields emerge along the path where neural crest ...

are key in establishing this intracellular lipid gradient. The authors found that PI3K-generated lipids become polarized inside cells under the influence of an electric field, to a degree similar ...
