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

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...

Actin polymerizing motors were encapsulated in the lumen of an artificial cell, where they exhibited motion and actively generated actin filament. (Image: Miguel A. Ramos Docampo, Aarhus University) ...

Study the tiny molecular motors that cells use to produce force and motion in human cells. To break symmetry, all cells polarize making one part of the cell structurally, functionally, or ...

Cells migrate actively through a growing colony. This mixing can be inhibited when motility is too weak or growth is too strong. The ability to actively migrate is a fundamental property of living ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct the complex dynamics of how cells decide their fate. As reported in Nature ...

You don’t want the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes inside your cells — it can make you seriously ill. Now, researchers at Aarhus University have used its unique mode of movement as inspiration to ...

Scientists at the MPI-DS have investigated how this motion interacts with the growth of the entire colony, which can be observed in a wide variety of cellular aggregates. Such growth happens when ...
