A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...
Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines ...
A team led by Prof. WANG Chao and Prof. HUANG Chengdong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the molecular mechanism of ...
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 ...
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 ...
