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

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

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

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

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

Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...

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 ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern in Dallas say they have finally nailed down the human protein that makes cells literally burst during necroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death. The work ...
