Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...
Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...
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 ...
In this work, the authors demonstrated that blue light mediated mitochondrial contacts attenuated blue light induced mitochondrial dysfunction, and validated this in human cells and C. elegans. This ...
Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...
Researchers from The University of Osaka have identified a gene key for parasite egress, providing a novel target for ...
An octopus-shaped nanomachine hijacks tumor ATP leakage to power a self-amplifying cycle of membrane damage, drug delivery, and metabolic collapse in cancer cells.
Necrotic cell death is a fundamental biological process, yet the terminal execution mechanisms of necrosis are still not ...
