Cell membranes are dynamic structures that protect cells while constantly adapting to environmental change. For years, their behavior seemed to contradict basic physical laws linking structure and ...

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 ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

This valuable study uses single-molecule imaging to characterize factors controlling the localization, mobility, and function of RNase E in E. coli, a key bacterial ribonuclease central to mRNA ...

This fundamental work substantially advances our understanding of how the glycocalyx of cells provide a non-specific barrier for the interaction of viruses with cell-surface receptors. Using both in ...

Three escapees had been captured by Friday night. The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office said the inmates might have had help from jail workers. By Michael Levenson The rectangular hole in the cell wall ...

Abstract: For the past years, many studies have been conducted to understand and analyze the behavior of fuel cells in order to improve this source of energy. In our present work, we are interested in ...
