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 ...

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 ...

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

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 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 ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
