Michael Levin Reprograms Bioelectricity For Regeneration

Dr. Michael Levin, Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts University and director of the Allen Discovery Center, discusses bioelectricity and its role in development and regeneration in a transcript of his interview on The Tim Ferriss Show (episode #849). He outlines experiments on salamanders, tadpoles, and flatworms showing electrical pattern memories that guide limb regeneration, cancer suppression, and morphological repair, and describes lab methods to read and rewrite those bioelectric pattern memories.
