Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.
Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...
Mutualist-pathogen co-colonisation modulates phosphoinositide signatures at host intracellular interfaces: Nicotiana benthamiana plants expressing biosensors for PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. PI(4,5)P2 was ...
Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...
The plant cell wall is composed of complex polysaccharides, including cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin, and serves as an effective physical barrier against microbial pathogens. To successfully ...
They are used in cleaning our drinking water, treating sewage, processing foods and keeping pharmaceuticals safe—membranes ...
Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...
Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
