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

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

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

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

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

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 ...

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...

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.

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