Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...
Scientists at TU Delft and the Max Planck Institute have made a new class of structurally adaptable ‘mechanical’ pores made from DNA that can transport molecules through cell membranes. These ...
‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...
Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...
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, ...
