Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

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

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...
