In every living cell, there are membranes—and in every membrane there are proteins, each of which acts as a chemical gatekeeper. Rather than passively letting ions pass in and out of the cell, these ...

‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

Cell biology is a branch of biological sciences that investigates the structure, function, dynamics, and regulation of cells as the fundamental units of life. It encompasses the study of cellular ...

Qiang Li and colleagues have created "cyborg" pancreatic organoids that combine stretchy miniature electronics with stem cell-derived pancreatic ...

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 ...

Nuclera, the biotechnology company enabling rapid access to high-quality proteins and leadXpro, a specialist in ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...

Researchers led by UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering’s Chong Liu and Northwestern’s George Schatz have developed a tunable system that selectively controls chemical transport at the ...
