Podcasts about bioelectrical

Bioelectrical gradients guide embryonic development by creating an electrical scaffold for tissue and organ growth. Researchers harness the power of bioelectricity to devise strategies for regenerating various tissues, including promoting brain recovery after stroke. In this episode, Iris Kulbatski from The Scientist spoke with Paul George, a physician scientist in the Department of Neurology at Stanford University, to learn more about his team's research on bioelectricity for stroke recovery. The Scientist Speaks is a podcast produced by The Scientist's Creative Services Team. Our podcast is by scientists and for scientists. Once a month, we bring you the stories behind news-worthy molecular biology research.

Hello Interactors,A Frankenstein announcement from Musk this week punctuated my recent fascination with the author of that popular novel, Mary Shelley. Her isolated lived experience in a time of intense technological discovery, social and geo-political unrest, AND a climate crisis rings true today more than ever.But she also was subtlety representing a scientific movement that is largely ignored today, but just may be experiencing a bit of a resurgence in areas like biology and neuroscience.Let's dig in…FRANKEN-MUSK“It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.”Mary Shelley was intrigued, and maybe a little scared, by the idea of electrifying organs. She admits as much in her 1831 forward of her famous novel, “Frankenstein”, first published January 1, 1818. She wrote,"Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated; galvanism had given token of such things: perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth."Bioelectrical experimentation had been happening for nearly 40 years by the time Shelley wrote this book. Luigi Galvani, an Italian physician, physicist, and philosopher demonstrated the existence of electricity in living tissue in the late 1780s. He called it ‘animal electricity'. Many repeated his experiments over the years and ‘galvanism' remained hotly debated well into the 1800s.I've been thinking a lot about Shelley and her “Frankenstein” lately. The hype and hysteria surrounding AI, human-like robots, and biocomputing make it easy to imagine. Just last week Elon Musk tweeted that his company, Neuralink, implanted its brain chip in a human for the first time. He wants to make ‘The Matrix' a reality. Here we are some 200 years later, wanting to believe ‘perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth.'‘Vital warmth' seems a borrowed phrase from another scientific movement of the time, ‘vitalism'. Vitalism is the belief that living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities, like computer chips, because they are governed by a unique, non-physical force or "vital spark" that animates life. A kind of teleology for which some contemporary biologists now have empirical evidence.One prominent vitalist of the 18th and 19th century, the German physician, physiologist, and anthropologist, Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, is best known for his contributions to the study of human biology. He developed the concept of the "Bildungstrieb" or "formative drive," which he proposed as an inherent force guiding the growth and development of organisms. Contemporary science explains these processes through a combination of genetic, biochemical, and physical principles like encoded DNA, gene expression networks, and morphogenesis — the interactions between cells and their responses to various chemical and mechanical forces.THE INDUSTRIALIST'S VITAL SPARK‘Formative drive' was a vitalist response to the mechanistic explanations of life that were prevalent in the Enlightenment period. The same mechanistic fervor that endues so many technologists today, like Musk, with vital warmth. Blumenbach argued that physical and chemical processes alone could not account for the organization and complexity of living beings. Instead, he suggested that some other vital force was responsible for the development and function of organic forms.Vitalists had their skeptics. Chiefly among them was Alessandro Volta. He was critical of Galvani's ‘vital spark'. In Galvani's frog leg experiments, he discovered that when two different metals (e.g., copper and zinc) were connected and then touched to a frog's nerve and muscle, the muscle would contract even without any external electrical source. Galvani concluded that this was due to an electrical force inherent in the nerves of the frog, a concept that challenged the prevailing views of the time and eventually laid the groundwork for the field of electrophysiology.Volta, however, believed the electrical effects were due to the metals used in Galvani's experiments. Volta's work eventually led to the development of the Voltaic Pile, an early form of a battery. Hence the term ‘volt'. The Voltaic Pile enabled a more systematic and controlled study of electricity, which was a relatively little-understood phenomenon at the time. It provided scientists and inventors with a consistent and reliable source of electrical energy for experiments, leading to a deeper understanding of electrical principles and the discovery of new technologies.One such technology was the invention of the telegraph in the 1830s. The availability of electric batteries as power sources is what made it possible for Samuel Morse to revolutionize long-distance communication, profoundly effecting commerce, governance, and daily life. As he wrote in his first public demonstration, “What hath God wrought?”The mechanists gained further favor as more and more scientists, inventors, and eventually economists succumbed to the allure of reductionism. They believed understanding complex phenomena could be done by studying their simplest, most fundamental, and mechanistic parts. Including body parts.ECHOES OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGEIt was around the time of Morse's tinkering that Mary Shelley reissued ‘Frankenstein'. She revealed in her 1831 forward how she was influenced by the scientific and philosophical ideas of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This included galvanism, the debates around vitalism, and the Romantic movement's reaction to the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and science.This was also a period marked by significant political, social, and technological upheavals. The consolidation of nation-states and the expansion of political power were central themes of this era, leading to debates over government intervention and the balance between order and liberty. Shelley's narrative, set against this backdrop, can be seen as a reflection on the consequences of unchecked ambition and the ethical responsibilities of creators, themes that are increasingly relevant in today's discussions about artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and other forms of technological innovation.Moreover, Shelley's personal history and the socio-political context of her time deeply informed the themes of her novel. As the daughter of Mary Wollstonecraft, a pioneering feminist thinker, Shelley was exposed from an early age to, what were then, radical ideas about gender, society, and individual rights. Her own experiences of loss, isolation, and vulnerability were compounded by the societal upheavals of the Little Ice Age and the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. "Frankenstein" is imbued with a profound sense of existential questioning. It critiques the dehumanizing aspects of technological and industrial progress — themes that resonate with many today.Like the early parts of the Industrial Revolution, we are living in a period of transforming economies, social structures, and daily life, ushering in new forms of labor, consumption, and environmental impact. The creation of Shelley's ‘Creature' can be seen as a metaphor for the unforeseen consequences of industrialization, including the alienation of individuals from their labor, from nature, and from each other.Shelley's narrative warns of the dangers of valuing power and progress over empathy and ethical consideration, a warning that remains pertinent as society grapples with the implications of rapid technological advancement and environmental degradation. Mechanistic reductionism, with its emphasis on dissecting complex phenomena into their most basic parts, undeniably continues to dominate much of science, technology, and conventional thought.Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," while serving as a cautionary tale about the hubris and potential perils of unchecked scientific and technological ambition, has paradoxically also fueled the collective imagination, inspiring generations to dream of creating a human-like entity from disparate parts and mechanisms.Yet, there is an emerging renaissance that harks back to the holistic perspectives reminiscent of early vitalism. As scientists increasingly traverse interdisciplinary boundaries, embracing the principles of holism and complexity science, they are uncovering new patterns, principles, and laws that echo the intuitions of early vitalists.The groundbreaking research of Michael Levin at Tufts University, with its focus on bioelectric patterns and their role in development and regeneration, offers a compelling empirical bridge to Blumenbach's ‘formative drive'. While Levin's work eschews the metaphysical aspects of a "life force," it uncovers the intricate bioelectric networks that guide the form and function of organisms, echoing vitalism's fascination with the organizing principles of life.This shift acknowledges that life's essence may not be fully captured by reductionist views alone. Levin shows how it's not the mechanisms of DNA that unlock the mysteries of biological organization but the communication between cells and their environment. It points towards a more integrated understanding of the natural world that respects the intricate interplay of its myriad components.Shelley's pondering remains relevant today, “perhaps the component parts of a creature might be manufactured, brought together, and endued with vital warmth." Either way, "Frankenstein" continues to remind us of the need for humility and ethical consideration. After all, as we navigate the complex frontier between mechanistic ambition and our fragile, emergent, and interconnected life neurobiology tells us our own neural connections are being reshaped by both environmental interactions and cognitive activity, reflecting principles of embedded cognition those early vitalists would surely endorse.

What role does bioelectricity play in the formation of new organisms? How do cells connect to form a hierarchy of ever more advanced cognnition, preferences and goals? What are the implications for regenerative medicine, sense of self and consciousness? In this episode we have the extraordinary role of bio-electricity in the orchestration and elaboration of organisms to look at. I became interested in this topic in the nineties when I read a book that was controversial at the time: ‘The Body Electric', by Dr. Robert Becker who had been studying the bioelectric fields around salamanders as they regenerated limbs. I've been hoping to hear about it again ever since, but I thought the research had died out. That was until my guest Zhen Xu at the university of Michigan, spoke about the work of my guest today, in our episode #37 on her work “Histotripsy: Ultrasound for destroying cancer cells”. He is the award winning Biology professor at TUFTS Michael Levin, in the department of regenerative and developmental Biology, although he started out as a computer engineer. His specialisations are in how cells form bioleletrical networks, used for storing and recalling the pattern memories that guide morphogenesis. He then applies that to next generation Ai to help understand a top down control of pattern regulation in the new field of the bioinformatics of shape. He is also a visionary in how all this can be applied to regenerative medicine and bioengineering and his work obliges us to re-examine our approach to morphogenesis. I have been longing to find someone to talk to about the implications of this work for the biolelectric nature of collective intelligence, and how that builds up ever higher levels and layers of collective cellular agency, cognition and sense of self, culminating perhaps in collective intelligences greater than single organisms. For that answer you'll have to listen to what Michael says in the episode. What we discuss: 00:00 Intro. 06:10 Bioelectrical fields are responsible for which cells become which body parts. 07:30 The cognitive ‘glue' that binds collectives of cells to goals, agency and preferences. 09:30 Morphogenesis explained. 11:00 Self-organising cellular adaptability. 12:30 Cells also communicate using electric signals, not only neurones. 16:00 How are cognitive memories encoded in the electrical field? We don't know yet. 16:45 “Electric face” present in the field: copy it, apply it elsewhere and it grows there! 18:30 The bioelectrical pattern is instructive. 20:15 It's a simple information encoding. 20:30 Competent active cellular material. 24:30 DNA vs Bioelectricty: Analogy of Hardware vs Software with reprogrammability 28:00 Where is the location of the forms stored, memorised and encoded in the bioelectric field? 30:30 “We really have to redefine what me mean by “Where”“ 32:21 We don't know where the truths of mathematics reside. 38:10 Bioengineering: Training competent materials VS building passive materials. 40:30 Agential' material: Cells have agency and preferences. 44:30 Zenobots: cells re-program themselves in days, with no training only influenced by their environment. 50:40 Highly regenerative, cancer resistant, immortal: Plenaria asexual worms. 55:40 Gap Junctions: bioelectric gates for cells to network memories and agency 01:01:50 Cognitive hierarchy of selves within selves, with increasing levels of advanced complexity and agency, each with subjective experience. 01:08:00 Collaborative collective intelligence between organisms VS ever larger selves as one unified intelligence. 01:09:00 Testing agency at any level: Perturbative experiment over only observation.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.12.07.519516v1?rss=1 Authors: HERNANDEZ-MORALES, M., MORALES-WEIL, K., HAN, S. M., HAN, V., PEGRAM, K., BENNER, E. J., MILLER, E. W., KRAMER, R. H., LIU, C. Abstract: Magnetogenetics promises remote control of neurons, but its validity is questioned due to controversies surrounding the underlying mechanisms and deficits in reproducibility. Recent studies discovered that ferritin, used in Magnetogenetics, transduces radiofrequency (RF) magnetic fields into biochemical signals (reactive oxygen species and oxidized lipids). Magnetic stimulation of ferritin-tethered TRPV channels induces Ca2+ responses and modulates behavior but electrophysiological studies indicate that a particular channel, Magneto2.0, is ineffective in affecting the neuronal bioelectrical properties. We investigated this problem using the Magnetogenetic technique FeRIC. We resolved the electromagnetic interference caused by RF in patch-clamp recordings and supported the data with voltage imaging experiments. In neurons expressing TRPV4FeRIC, RF depolarizes the membrane potential and increases the spiking frequency. In neurons expressing the chloride-permeable TMEM16AFeRIC, RF hyperpolarizes the membrane potential and decreases the spiking frequency. Our study reveals the control of neuronal bioelectrical properties with Magnetogenetics that is non-instantaneous, long-lasting, and moderate, but effective and comparable to that induced by endogenous signaling molecules.

Recently I did a fun little experiment on myself.  I did a BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) scan BEFORE a 1-hour gym session and again immediately AFTER. I was inundated with requests to share what happened and why I don't recommend these scans. So here are the results:   BEFORE TRAINING Weight: 61kg. The report suggested I needed to gain 1kg to get to 62kg Height: 169.8cm Skeletal Muscle Mass: 25.9kg Body Fat %: 23.1% Visceral Fat Level: 5 BMR: 1383kcal Bone Mineral Content: 2.95kg   AFTER TRAINING Weight: 61.1kg. The report suggested I needed to lose 0.3kg to get to 60.8kg by increasing 0.7kg of muscle and decreasing 1kg of fat Height: 168.2cm - I shrunk Skeletal Muscle Mass: 25.4kg - I lost 0.5kg of muscle Body Fat %: 24.6%. Increased by 1.5%!! Gained 900g fat Visceral Fat Level: 6 - increased BMR: 1365kcal - decreased Bone Mineral Content: 2.84kg - decreased   Hopefully, this highlights that these scans are not the best tool for monitoring changes in body composition. They are very easy to manipulate and results can vary significantly - up to 8% variance has been seen in the literature!  If I can gain 900g of body fat, lose 500g of muscle and gain almost a centimetre in my arm circumference in an hour - what hope do you have of assessing accurate change over 4 weeks?! There is absolutely no point in measuring something if it cannot accurately track progress. Save your $.

Most health experts agree that increased body fat and obesity are unhealthy, but new data suggests low muscle mass presents just as problematic a risk for chronic disease and death.  Crush your next workout or sauna session with the new Electrolyte Stix by MYOXCIENCE: bit.ly/electrolyte-stix Use code podcast at checkout to save Link to Video, Images and Research: https://bit.ly/389eWZC Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro  00:05 Lean Muscle Mass is protective.  02:48 Increased fat mass or low lean mass, is linked with inflammation, metabolic impairments, endothelial dysfunction, high blood pressure and abnormal lipid profile. 04:40 Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and the DEXA scan can approximate lean mass.  06:00 Over the age of 60, there is less of an association with all-cause mortality with increased fat mass index. Fat mass may then be protective.  10:35 Grip strength gives an approximation of whole-body strength.  13:30 There is a strong inverse association between predicted lean mass and mortality from all causes.  13:44 Higher and lower predicted fat mass is associated with higher risk of mortality from all causes and cardiovascular disease.  15:30 Low lean mass, as you age, is inversely correlated with all-cause mortality. 16:20 Fat mass that is too high and lean mass that is too low are both associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality. 17:10 DEXA is a low dose of radiation.  18:20 Lean mass index is a better predictor of mortality than body mass.  19:00 Waist circumference, fat mass and fat proportion were not associated with mortality, concluded an Asian study. 20.55 There was no gender difference in the lean mass study.  21.10 The relative risk of mortality between the highest lean mass group and the lowest lean mass was 74%.  23.10 Work every major muscle group at least one day each week.

Did you know that your bare feet can pick up electrons from the earth's surface which help to lower inflammation, improve sleep, help optimize cortisol rhythm, reduce pain and stress, help activate the parasympathetic system, increase heart rate variability, and speed wound healing? Sounds too simple - or cooky - to be true and, yet, studies show that grounding (or earthing) offers healthful benefits. It's another way our body works in Relation to Creation and it shouldn't surprise us that our Mighty Maker built therapeutic elements into the earth's surface.

We know from physics that everything is energy, and everything is affected by it. Applying this principle to the human body’s inner workings, Billy Holder, a medical technician specializing in bioelectrical impedance technology, uses electrotherapy to help patients recover from various illnesses by reconnecting their circuits. He sees the human body as a repository of past trauma, which translates to somatic experiences for people. Using bioelectrical impedance technology, he helps patients get rid of circuit blockages and restore the body’s connections with itself and with the brain. Working on a technology that has barely seen five years from its inception, Billy is a pioneer in this promising field of energy-based medical technology.

Episode 43 dives into all the various methods of testing body fat and the pros and cons with each testing method. Methods that are discussed are: Bioelectrical impedance, skin calipers, hydrostatic weighing, DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry), Air Displacement Plethysmography (BOD pod), and 3D scan. IFBB Bikini pro Chris Nicole describes the differences in serum vs saliva hormone testing and her personal experiences with both. Online bikini coach Amy Ehinger explains the importance of getting your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) tested and why that is so important to know at the start of a contest prep. Body fat ranges are discussed as well and the importance of knowing what type of fat you have (visceral adipose tissue). Other topics included are waist to hip ratios and the differences between android vs gynoid body fat %. American Council for Exercise (A.C.E.) Ideal Body Fat percentage guidelines for women are: Essential fat 10-13%, Athletes 14-20%, Fitness 21-24%, Average 25-31%, and Obese 32+%

Today I’m off to a sports nutrition store near where I live called Complete Nutrition. In talking with some fellow “losers” at work I found out they can provide a body composition report. The report give weight of fat, water, and muscle/skeletal tissue, BMI, body fat and muscle by percentage of total weight, and, weirdly, the weight of various body parts.

Just Dry Bones: In the seventh episode of Just Science, funded by the National Institute of Justice’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence [Award 2016-MU-BX-K110], guest speakers Dr. Melissa Connor, Dr. Eriek Hansen, and Christiane Baigent discuss their NIJ funded research. A study was launched in late 2015 using two methods, Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and Total Body Desiccation. Observations from three years of study at Colorado Mesa University created a qualitative scoring system the Total Body Desiccation Score (TBDS) showing major changes over time by desiccated remains.

James Krieger is the founder of Weightology, LLC. He has a Master's degree in Nutrition from the University of Florida and a second Master's degree in Exercise Science from Washington State University. He is the former research director for a corporate weight management program that treated over 400 people per year, with an average weight loss of 40 pounds in 3 months. His former weight loss clients include the founder of Sylvan Learning Centers and The Little Gym, the vice president of Costco, and a former vice president of MSN. He has given over 75 lectures on weight loss-related topics to physicians, dietitians, and other professionals. In this podcast, James and I discuss anthropometry. Some of the things we discuss are:  1. What is anthropometry and what are the most common methods to use in regards to body composition? 2. People often talk about these being measurements, but are they really measurements? 3. What seems to be the most reliable methods for predicting body fat? 4. Skinfolds measurements and Bioelectrical impedance (BIA) are two of the most popular methods to use. What are the pros and cons of using these methods? 5. DEXA is often mentioned as the gold standard when it comes measuring body composition, is this true or does it also have its limitations?

What's the best method to measure body composition for fat loss??? Brandon and Grant tackle the above question from listener Shaun who is in search of a (preferably free) method for measuring body comp to maintain motivation. Brandon breaks down the differences between DEXA scans, hydrostatic body fat testing, and bioelectrical impedance. Finally, Brandon reveals a method of assessing body composition and fat loss progress that's completely free. Amongst all of the science, Grant shares his fear of the mirror, and completely unrelated, Brandon talks about his recent encounter with a bear while in his undies. After bear encounters, mirror phobias, and bioelectrical impedance, Grant shares his newfound knowledge of Bainbridge Organic Distillers Wheat Whiskey. bainbridgedistillers [1:13] The bear is here [3:50] Listener question from Shaun [5:17] The gold standard: DEXA scan [6:14] The dunk tank (hydrostatic) [8:29] Bioelectrical impedance [9:55] Hard, not hard [12:10] How often to check body comp [13:20] The free option [14:41] Grant vs the mirror [17:08] How Brandon monitors [18:18] Measuring progress [20:33] Bainbridge Organic Distillers Wheat Whiskey
