Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

The exchange of cells between a mother and a fetus is a well-documented phenomenon that scientists have known about for more ...

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

A team at McGill University studying ferroptosis, a form of cell death, have discovered that the process begins deep inside the cell, a finding that could lead to new treatments for cancer and ...

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

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a high-resolution metabolic "map" of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

There’s unexpected movement in the world of cell biology — specifically, with the energy factories known as mitochondria. Ever since they were discovered in the mid-nineteenth century, mitochondria ...

A cell nucleus reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg extract. Left image shows a fluorescence image where DNA has been stained and right image shows a density map of the ...
