Is bioelectricity the missing key to regeneration and healing? Dr. Michael Levin challenges the DNA-centric view of biology and reveals how bioelectric signals shape our bodies, direct cell behavior, and even influence cancer growth.Topics we cover:- Why bioelectricity, not just DNA, determines body shape- How cells communicate & self-organize without a genetic blueprint- The future of regenerative medicine & bioelectric healing- Why some animals can regenerate limbs—and why humans lost this ability- How bioelectricity could change the way we treat cancer- The philosophy of intelligence: Do cells "think" & make decisions?- How Michael Levin’s work could reshape AI, medicine, & our understanding of lifeAbout Dr. Michael Levin:Dr. Michael Levin is a biologist and bioelectricity pioneer whose research on cellular intelligence, limb regeneration, and morphogenesis is redefining how we understand life itself.Listen in to explore the next frontier of biology!• Introduction to Bioelectricity and Beyond the DNA-Centric Model - 00:02:36• Exploring Planaria and Its Unique Properties - 00:03:18• Regeneration and Holographic Information in Planaria - 00:06:33• Challenges in Transgenic Manipulation of Planaria - 00:10:26• Bioelectric Circuits as Software for Biological Hardware - 00:21:17• The Role of Bioelectricity in Morphogenesis - 00:24:07• Manipulating Bioelectric Patterns in Planaria - 00:28:35• The Philosophical Question of Information Storage in Biology - 00:30:42• Intelligence in Biological Systems - 00:37:08• The Evolution of Regeneration in Mammals - 00:42:08• Bioelectricity in Motile Cells - 00:44:39• Bioprinting and Bioelectricity in Tissue Engineering - 00:46:10• Current State of Bioelectric Research in Mammalian Tissues - 00:48:31• Bioelectric Approaches to Cancer Treatment - 00:51:45• Reconnecting Cancer Cells to Physiological Networks - 00:57:44• Advice for Students Interested in Bioelectricity Research - 00:59:27• Closing Remarks and Future Conversations - 01:01:22Dr. Levin's X page - https://x.com/drmichaellevinDr. Levin's lab - https://www.drmichaellevin.org/Dr. Levin's blog and photography - https://thoughtforms.life/Dr. Levin's advice to young scientists - https://thoughtforms.life/what-advice-do-i-give-to-my-students/ and https://thoughtforms.life/where-can-i-do-a-phd-in-bioelectricity-or-in-other-niche-topics/In Vivo on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GBvPPvSx52O6ILuam4LoX?si=6c903566ae7b4761&nd=1&dlsi=254f9f5e78194002In Vivo on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-vivo/id1775578563In Vivo on Amazon Podcasts - https://music.amazon.ca/podcasts/1ac4dbec-df46-4d1f-b0a1-742e9656ef44/in-vivo
