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 ...
Our cells may literally ripple with electricity, acting as a hidden power supply that could help transport materials or even ...
Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...
Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...
The plasma membrane is what isolates the cell’s interior from its surroundings. It is made up of a lipid bilayer and other macromolecules, such as carbohydrates, glycoproteins, and membrane proteins, ...
Biophysicists have designed a new cell-like transport system that represents an important milestone on the road to artificial cells. Creating artificial cells with life-like characteristics out of a ...
It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...
