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

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

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

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

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