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

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

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

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 ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

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

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

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...
