Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

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

New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

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

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 ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

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

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