The significance of bioelectricity on all levels of organization of an organism. Part 1: From the subcellular level to cells
Richard H. W. Funk, Felix Scholkmann
Abstract
Bioelectricity plays an essential role in the structural and functional organization of biological organisms. In this first article of our three-part series, we summarize the importance of bioelectricity for the basic structural level of biological organization, i.e. from the subcellular level (charges, ion channels, molecules and cell organelles) to cells.
