Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

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

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

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

‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

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 ...
