Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

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

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to show how a cell closes the door to free radicals - small oxygen molecules that are sometimes needed ...

Newly published CU Boulder research reveals previously unknown qualities of a gene vital to a cell’s mitochondrial structure and function A key takeaway from first-year biology is that mitochondria ...

But when the Johns Hopkins team examined cancer cells grown in the lab, they found that energy-generating enzymes gather and move as waves on the cell membrane, suggesting a more fine-tuned energy ...

In medical applications, nanotechnology advancements have positioned nanodiscs as valuable tools for diagnosing and treating various diseases. These disc-shaped particles can preserve membrane ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...
