Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus. Pradeep ...

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 ...

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

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

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