A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

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

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

Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

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

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 ...

Different fractions of human glomerular basement membranes have been isolated by enzymatic and chemical methods. These fractions were analyzed for their chemical structure and biological activity. The ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...
