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 ...

Butanol molecules trigger changes in a microbial cell membrane model in this illustration of research that used neutron scattering and supercomputing to understand fundamental processes for the ...

We established that Onsager’s principle of reciprocity is violated for the cell model of an ion–exchange membrane —the coupled cross kinetic coefficients are not equal. It is crucial when considering ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

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

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

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 ...
