Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

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

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

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

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

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

The prevalence of kidney disease has been increasing in Japan, with it now affecting one in eight adults, but developing effective treatment remains a challenge. The kidneys are among the most ...

Scientists created safer weight loss chemicals that make cells burn more calories without dangerous side effects.

T cells are not able to create their cellular energy, called adenosine triphosphate or ATP, when they are inside a solid tumor. Now, researchers led by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center may ...

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 ...
