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

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

A team led by Prof. WANG Chao and Prof. HUANG Chengdong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the molecular mechanism of ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
