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

Researchers have discovered that damage to the cell membrane promotes cellular senescence, or cell aging. Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap ...

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

Our cells are surrounded by a fragile membrane that's only 5 nanometers thick, 1/20 of a soap bubble. Cells are easily damaged by physiological activities, including muscle contraction and tissue ...

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 ...

Scientists at Stanford University have uncovered a novel physical mechanism that breast cancer cells use to break out and become invasive. They observed that in addition to established chemical ...
