No Current, No Problem: Wireless Electric Field Steers Immune Cells but Stuns Cancer Cells
 Scientists have long known that electric fields can guide cell movement by a process called electrotaxis. However, most studies rely on electrodes that touch the cell medium, creating currents that complicate the biochemistry. Now, researchers designed a wireless platform that delivers a unidirectional electric field (Wi-uEF) without measurable current. Using this system, they discovered that human neutrophils consistently migrate toward the negative side (cathode), while breast cancer cells lose their directional persistence without preferring any direction. The findings separate the effects of electric potential from measurable electrical current, offering a cleaner way to study how cells sense and respond to voltage gradients.
