Seems to suggest that a sort of electrical structure or blueprint leads the charge in cell structure development and might even be key for our understanding of cell differentiation.

Did you mean to put this in the Science forum, and mistakenly put it here?

Or is there something related to Politics, Philosophy, and or religion, buried in this?

It relates to the kind of biological mystery that people still chew on when they're trying to work out what we are and where we come from - cell differentiation being one of the major remaining mysteries of life. Also it's worth exploring is the question of what kind of template these electrical signals are unfolding from and explanations for that could range in scope from genetic to metaphysical.
