Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins.

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...

A hidden “jack-in-the-box” mechanism inside T cells may hold the key to unlocking more powerful cancer immunotherapies.

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

We know that the process of viral uptake into cells begins with interactions between proteins hemagglutinin and neuraminidase on the virus’s surface and sialic acid on the cell membrane, which trigger ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and ...
