Many drug and antibody discovery pathways focus on intricately folded cell membrane proteins. When molecules of a drug ...

Cells use a surprising “pearling” motion to evenly distribute mitochondrial DNA. This newly uncovered process may be key to ...

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

No, this isn’t science fiction. Real-life researchers taught a dish of roughly 200,000 living human brain cells to play the classic 1990s computer game “Doom.” Experts at Cortical Labs, an Australian ...

Fuel cells are considered a key technology for a climate-neutral energy supply. One particularly important type is the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). These devices convert hydrogen into ...

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have investigated the application and properties of a novel hexagonal glass texturing process in a superstrate configuration for thin film silicon solar ...

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 ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered that the nervous system's own immune cells help protect the spinal cord from age-related damage. The results, which may contribute to new knowledge ...

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 ...

A class of antivirals called Pin1 inhibitors could reduce or stop outbreaks of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), the common infection behind oral herpes, according to new research published in Antiviral ...

Brain cells are like tiny trees. They have an intricate web of roots that take in signals and a trunk that passes these signals to branches dotted with hubs called synapses, where the messages are ...
