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

The study of circular membrane mechanics and pressure sensing encompasses both theoretical advances and practical applications, spanning disciplines from applied mathematics and physics to engineering ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
