A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

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

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced this way ought to cancel out in environments under equilibrium, making them ...

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

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

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 ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

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 ...

Colorectal cancer, the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in the large intestine or the rectum, is one of the most common ...
