Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

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

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

New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life. When you purchase through links ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...
