New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

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

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

Our cells may literally ripple with electricity, acting as a hidden power supply that could help transport materials or even ...

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

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

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 ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...
