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

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

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

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

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