The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.

Researchers discover that hearing-essential proteins (TMC1/TMC2) also regulate cell membranes, and their malfunction is a primary cause of permanent hearing loss.

Researchers at The University of Osaka use a nanoreactor to produce pores that mimic biological ion channelsIon channels are narrow passageways that ...

Researchers shrink solid-state nanopores to sub-nm size via voltage-driven precipitation/dissolution, creating tunable pores that mimic ion channels for studying confined ion transport.

Scientists from the McKelvey School of Engineering managed to apply the material, making fuel cells way more affordable than ...

Carfilzomib prevented BCMA degradation, increased target density, and improved CAR T susceptibility by ~26%–28% in vitro, while enhancing xenograft antitumor activity without worsening T-cell ...

Experiments reveal that unsaturated lipid membranes promote vesicle fusion and DNA retention during freeze–thaw cycles, highlighting icy environments as potential drivers of protocell evolution. Today ...

There is a lot of buzz about Moltbook recently. It’s the site where LLM agents can interact to . . . pretty much do anything. People are worrying about it being a possible step on the way to AGI. To ...

There’s a mysterious energy quietly influencing your brain. Could it explain where your consciousness originates?

Insights from theoretical physics are helping scientists understand how living cells process information and use it to self-organise Researchers ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them—signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces—in a process known as endocytosis that is essential ...
