Wounded skin cells scream with slow-motion electric pulses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such electric spikes are a surprise because only nerve cells were thought to communicate this way. These signals move at a snail\u2019s pace compared to nerve impulses and can be detected at least 500 micrometers away<\/a> \u2014 about the distance of 40 cells \u2014 researchers report in the March 25 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/em>. The pulsing electrical waves may help injured cells\u2019 neighbors prepare to heal wounds<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
