Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Until now, scientists could only measure membrane ...
Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it relentlessly to stay alive. Proteins twist, ions rush, and membranes flex as life ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and water treatment. In a study published in Frontiers in Membrane Science and ...
This fundamental work provides solid evidence that advances our understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying bacterial cell division by examining the role of membrane tension and FtsZ ...
The potential for these kinds of machines to reshape computer processing, increase energy efficiency, and revolutionize medical testing has scientists excited. But when do we consider these cells 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 ...
In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have shed new light on the location and function of ...
