A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...
Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...
Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed. Although biophysicist Bernard Katz from ...
