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

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

Cell membranes protect and organize cells. All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, ...

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

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

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 ...

A quick revision guide covering key concepts, biomolecules, cell organelles, and essential NEET-style MCQs to boost exam ...

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 ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

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

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