A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is an innovative bioaffinity technique that utilises immobilised cell membranes to replicate the native configuration and function of membrane proteins. This ...

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...

Researchers have developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from molecular fluctuations. The work is published in the journal PNAS Nexus. Pradeep ...
