Abstract

The Buzz for this Special Issue on the Bioelectricity of the Tumor Microenvironment includes reviews and primary articles to whet your appetite on topics related to tumor cells (of course!) but also encompasses topics on the nano-scale (ions, small molecules, membranes and nanoparticles), micro-scale (electroactive microorganisms), electrode-tissue interfaces (in spinal cord, brain and tumor microenvironments) and ion transporting tissues (organoids). Enjoy! Cells versus tissues: The potential for cancer There is growing interest in controlling tumors by changing the bioelectrical traits of cancer cells. This paper describes a bioelectric model underpinning cancer progression and treatment that reflects the dynamic interaction of the bioelectrical properties of cells and tissues.
