Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Our cells may literally ripple with electricity, acting as a hidden power supply that could help transport materials or even ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals—small oxygen molecules ...

A new study reveals that bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment through two fundamentally different "shutdown modes," not ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the synaptic cleft—making them ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human lung-on-chip model using stem cells ...

In recent years, the field of immunology has increasingly focused on the role of glycolipids and sphingolipids in the differentiation and function of innate immune cells, such as macrophages, ...

The Warburg effect describes how cancer cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis even in oxygen-rich ...
