Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...
New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...
The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...
Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.
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 ...
Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...
When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...
