When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

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

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

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

Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...

Cell membranes cradle, protect, and gatekeep living cells. Membranes can even affect how a cell behaves. But membranes' own erratic behavior has puzzled scientists for years. Turns out, it's all about ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Our cells may literally ripple with electricity, acting as a hidden power supply that could help transport materials or even ...

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 ...
