Voltage and charge distributions in cellular microdomains regulate communications, excitability, and signal transduction. We report here new electrical laws in a cell, which follow from a nonlinear electro-diffusion model. These newly discovered relations derive from the geometrical cell-membrane properties, such as membrane curvature, volume, and surface area. These electro-diffusion laws can now be used to predict and interpret voltage distribution in cellular microdomains.
