Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

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

Membrane proteins and membrane lipids are essential partners in various biological processes, and elucidating their ...

In every living cell, there are membranes—and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper. Rather than passively letting ions pass in and out of the cell, these ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...
