Cell membrane integrity is vital for the survival and function of tissues across biological systems. The rapid repair of membrane disruptions is mediated by specialised mechanisms that mobilise ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

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

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

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

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 ...

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

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play a significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their ...

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

Sechenov University in Moscow introduces groundbreaking cell-based technology for eardrum repair, utilizing patients' own ...
