Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

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

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Inflammation is a vascular or blood vessel and cellular reaction in the human body to stimulus and trauma. It refers to your ...

Researchers at the University of Houston and Rutgers University say active cell membranes can generate electrical energy.

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

BK and CaV1.3 channels interact early during biogenesis, assembling intracellularly before membrane localization, indicating coordinated processes for functional coupling.

Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies.

The protein called intelectin-2 plays another important role by reinforcing the protective mucus layer that lines the ...
