Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
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 ...
The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...
Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
