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

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

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

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.

Antimicrobial resistance and ecological disruption caused by broad-spectrum disinfectants have created an urgent need for ...

In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...

Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Faculty of ...

This is an important study on the sensory roles of Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CBF-cn) in mammals. The authors identify PKD2L1 as the predominant pH-sensing channel CBF-cn and show how the ...

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

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...
