Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...
Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap bubble. Cells are easily damaged by physiological activities, including muscle contraction and tissue ...
Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...
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 ...
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 ...
