Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

The membrane that encases a biological cell is not simply a barrier; it is chock full of proteins involved in all sorts of critical biological functions. To really understand what membrane proteins ...

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a form of inflammatory programmed cell death called necroptosis. Their ...

Living cells may generate electricity through tiny membrane movements, scientists suggest. Molecular activity can create ...
