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

New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

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

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

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inside your cells, mitochondria keep you alive by turning food into usable energy. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney and Memorial University of Newfoundland are now exploring how to ...

But when the Johns Hopkins team examined cancer cells grown in the lab, they found that energy-generating enzymes gather and move as waves on the cell membrane, suggesting a more fine-tuned energy ...

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