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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
