Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...
Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...
Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact cells, providing crucial context for understanding how cells work.
The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior, opens and closes ion channels like a water faucet and converts a physicochemical stimulus into an electrical signal ...
