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

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

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

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

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

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

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

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 ...
