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 ...

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

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

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

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 ...

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.

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