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

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

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

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

The membrane that encases a biological cell is not simply a barrier; it is chock full of proteins involved in all sorts of critical biological functions. To really understand what membrane proteins ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

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