Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

Observing proteins with precision in living cells has been a challenge for researchers across various disciplines. Now, Stefan Kubicek, PhD, and his team at CEMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine ...

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

Researchers used Listeria's movement as a model to build nanomotors inside artificial cells, giving them lifelike mobility ...

A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. The technique relies on 'switchable fluorophores' -- fluorescent proteins that turn on and off ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

In a lab rack that looks more like a high-end audio system than a server, clusters of human brain cells are quietly learning ...
