Why
Researchers exposed sea squirts to short bursts of electricity and found it dramatically improved stem cell function, tissue regeneration, and lifespan.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research reveals electricity can reverse aging-related damage in simple organisms, which could eventually inform treatments for age-related decline, infertility, and degenerative diseases in humans due to genetic similarities.
