The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

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

Special proteins -- known as membrane transporters -- are key to the mobility of sperm cells. A research team has, with the aid of cryo-electron microscopy, succeeded in decoding the structure of such ...

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 ...

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 ...

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

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 ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern in Dallas say they have finally nailed down the human protein that makes cells literally burst during necroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death. The work ...
