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

A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

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

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

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 ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
