Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...
Measuring membrane thickness was previously only possible in artificial membranes—now scientists can do it inside intact cells, providing crucial context for understanding how cells work.
Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...
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 ...
