Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity—from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Membrane protein transport and quality control are central to yeast cell homeostasis, ensuring that proteins reach their correct cellular destinations while aberrant or damaged proteins are ...

Researchers develop a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. Pradeep Sharma ...

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 ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic ...

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 ...
