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 ...

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

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.

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