Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

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 ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

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

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern in Dallas say they have finally nailed down the human protein that makes cells literally burst during necroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death. The work ...

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