Cell membranes may work like tiny power generators
Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the chaos outside. A new line of research suggests they may be far more dynamic, ...
A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

Structures 3D printed inside living human cells that has one-fifth width of a human hair
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...
Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...
