Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University have discovered that cells generate steady internal fluid currents, dubbed ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

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 ...

It is estimated that, since the 1950s, more than 70 million tonnes of microplastics have been dumped into the oceans due to industrial manufacturing processes. These plastics are ingested by aquatic ...

How can fuel cells be made more efficient and longer-lasting – and what role does a membrane just a few micrometers thick play? This question is addressed by a recent study* conducted by the ...

Researchers have identified a physical process called “mitochondrial pearling” that explains how cells keep their ...
