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

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

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

We established that Onsager’s principle of reciprocity is violated for the cell model of an ion–exchange membrane —the coupled cross kinetic coefficients are not equal. It is crucial when considering ...

Butanol molecules trigger changes in a microbial cell membrane model in this illustration of research that used neutron scattering and supercomputing to understand fundamental processes for the ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
