When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
