Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...

In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have shed new light on the location and function of ...

Acting as an armor, a scaffold, and a communication platform in one, our cells' plasma membrane lies at the heart of many crucial cellular processes. Traditionally, it has been thought to function ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...
