Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

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

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Scientists say that a key to cellular movement is to regulate the electrical charge on the interior side of the cell membrane, potentially paving the way for understanding cancer, immune cell and ...

Biological processes such as wound healing and cancer cell invasion rely on the collective and coordinated motion of living cells. A little understood aspect that influences these processes is the ...

A ring of beads connected to tentacles A modeling study shows how chemical reactions can stimulate motion in simple systems, like the structure here—made of enzyme coated beads connected to ...

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