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

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins: when molecules of a drug candidate bind to these proteins, like a key going into a lock, they trigger ...

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
