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

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

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

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...
