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 ...

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

For life to function, cell membranes must remain intact. When these fragile barriers are damaged—for instance by heat or viral attack—specialized proteins come to the rescue. Researchers at ...

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

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers are applying fuel cell technology to new applications like sustainable energy and ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life.

Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...
