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

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

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

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

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...

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

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack ...

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

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus.

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals - small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed ...

Cancer treatment often sounds distant and technical, so stories about it can feel hard to enter. Yet, everyday curiosity ...
