Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

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

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

‘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 ...

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...
