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

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

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 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 ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

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 ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

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