Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...
Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...
Researchers describe a natural product-like molecule, Tantalosin, that inhibits interaction between two proteins in complexes that reshape membranes inside the cell. The findings lead to a deeper ...
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 ...
Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...
