Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...
Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...
A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
