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 ...

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

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus.

Membrane protein transport and quality control are central to yeast cell homeostasis, ensuring that proteins reach their correct cellular destinations while aberrant or damaged proteins are ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
