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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

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

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

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

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
