Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

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 ...

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.

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...
