Life Under Voltage: How to Accelerate or Slow Development Without Touching Genes

Every cell in our body generates an electrical voltage that influences whether it divides, migrates, and forms tissues. Researchers from the Polish Academy of Sciences demonstrate that by manipulating this parameter, cell behaviour can be controlled without interfering with DNA.

Every cell possesses a membrane potential — an electrical voltage generated across its membrane. This makes the interior of the cell negatively charged relative to the external environment. “Its value is not constant and depends both on the cell type and on its functional state,” explains Dr. habil. Magdalena Kowacz, assistant professor at the InLife Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences.

“Cells that readily divide and have migratory capacity are characterised by a less negative potential — they are depolarised,” the researcher explains. “In contrast, cells that stably perform their functions exhibit a more negative potential.”

This pattern recurs in many biological processes. “Depolarised cells include embryonic cells, cells involved in tissue regeneration, but also cancer cells,” says Kowacz. “All share common features: rapid proliferation, migration, and the ability to self-organise.”

This observation became the starting point for the research. “We use the cell’s natural membrane potential to control its behaviour,” the scientist emphasises. “If different functional states correspond to different potential values, we can deliberately modify this parameter.”

The study was conducted on chicken embryos, a classical model of vertebrate development. The team focused on a very early developmental stage. “We investigate somitogenesis — the stage at which characteristic body segments common to all vertebrates are formed,” the researcher explains. “At this stage, chicken, mouse, and human embryos develop in a highly similar manner.”

In chicken embryos, new segments form regularly, approximately every 90 minutes. Until now, altering the pace of this process required direct genetic intervention. “We show that this effect can be achieved differently. When cells are depolarised, they proliferate and migrate faster, and the embryo develops more rapidly. Increasing the negative potential, in turn, slows the process.”

Most intriguing is that altering electrical voltage affects genetically controlled processes. “We do not interfere with DNA, yet we regulate a process known to be genetically controlled,” Kowacz emphasises. “By changing the membrane potential, we also influence gene expression.”

Although the research is fundamental in nature, its significance extends beyond developmental biology. Cancer is only one example. “There are diseases of excessive proliferation, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, in which resting cells begin to divide again,” the researcher notes.

A similar mechanism appears in Alzheimer’s disease. In this case, cells attempt to re-enter the cell cycle, although the outcome is not proliferation but neurodegeneration.

Dr. Kowacz stresses that this is not a ready therapeutic proposal. “These are basic studies; we are not offering a new treatment method. However, we are adding an important piece of knowledge that may help build future medical solutions.”

Innowacyjna żywność funkcjonalna jako element profilaktyki chorób dietozależnych

Innovative functional foods as a tool for preventing diet-related diseases

The development and implementation of innovative functional food products with high health-promoting potential is the main objective of a new research and development project carried out at the InLife Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The project adopts a comprehensive “from raw material to final product” approach, covering the entire process—from research on the composition and bioactive properties of raw materials to their application in finished food products.

Implemented under the acronym FISHBERRY, the project focuses on the use of rainbow trout as a raw material with high nutritional value. At the same time, it responds to current challenges related to sustainable development, the circular economy, and growing consumer expectations for foods with scientifically documented preventive health effects. The solutions being developed have the potential to provide tangible support for health prevention through diet and to be implemented within the agri-food sector.

The project entitled “Development and implementation of innovative functional products based on rainbow trout with high preventive potential against diet-related diseases” has received funding under the second call of the governmental NUTRITECH Programme – Nutrition in the context of improving societal well-being and climate change challenges. The total amount of funding awarded is PLN 6,929,173.32 (grant No. NUTRITECH-II/0006/2025, dated 25 July 2025). The project will be implemented in cooperation with the industrial partner GLOBIO FEED PIOTR DZIEWAŃSKI.

Securing the funding was the result of close collaboration between research teams and the Research Support Office and covered all stages of proposal preparation—from developing the research concept, through refining the project objectives and assumptions, to preparing the complete application documentation. The project preparation involved the following contributors: Wiesław Wiczkowski, Bartosz Fotschki, Radosław Kowalski, Beata Sarosiek, Michał Blitek, Katarzyna Gawdzińska-Duda, Anna Bednarska-Barcz, Anna Majkowska, Beata Szmatowicz, Dorota Szawara-Nowak, Jerzy Juśkiewicz, and Dorota Napiórkowska.

The FISHBERRY project strengthens InLife’s research capacity in the field of functional foods and represents another step toward effectively linking scientific research with implementations of social and economic relevance. Information on subsequent stages of the project will be published as the research progresses.

InLife Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research, Polish Academy of Sciences is seeking candidates for the position of:

Postdoctoral Researcher in the Fertility and Developmental Programming Research Group

Number of positions: 1

Researcher profile (R1–R4): R2

Type of call: NCN SONATA 19

Project: The effect of ketogenic diet on DNA methylation in rat oocytes and metabolic profile of its offspring

Principal Investigator: Piotr Kaczyński, Ph.D.

Project description

In recent decades, lifestyle changes, including reduced physical activity and unhealthy dietary habits, have led to an epidemic increase in overweight and obesity, affecting approximately 60% of adults and 30% of children in Europe. Overweight and obesity are among the main risk factors for non-communicable diseases and significantly contribute to fertility problems, which currently constitute one of the most serious health challenges. In response to this problem, various dietary interventions are being tested, including the ketogenic diet, based on carbohydrate restriction and increased fat intake, leading to a state of ketosis. Although the ketogenic diet is used both therapeutically and for weight loss, its long-term impact on health, including epigenetic mechanisms and reproductive processes, is not fully understood. The planned studies using an animal model will allow assessment of the impact of a ketogenic diet on metabolism, oocyte quality, epigenetic processes, and potential health consequences for offspring.
