Why
Researchers found that exposing sea squirts to short bursts of electricity could dramatically improve stem cell function, tissue regeneration, and lifespan, mimicking the body's reaction to intense exercise.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This research suggests electricity could potentially reverse aging-related damage and improve stem cell function in biological systems, which could eventually inform treatments for age-related decline or degenerative diseases.
