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

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

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

In every living cell, there are membranes—and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper. Rather than passively letting ions pass in and out of the cell, these ...

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

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their formation is yet to be ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their ...
