Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus. Pradeep ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells. A study by Scripps Research scientists reveals a previously ...

MIT researchers have demonstrated that cell membrane composition directly influences EGFR activity, with elevated negatively ...

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 ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

But when the Johns Hopkins team examined cancer cells grown in the lab, they found that energy-generating enzymes gather and move as waves on the cell membrane, suggesting a more fine-tuned energy ...

Researchers at Texas A&M Health and collaborators have developed engineered CRAC channel inhibitory binders that can ...
