Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) have—in collaboration with colleagues from Ludwig Maximilian ...

Embedded in the boundary between the inside and outside of each cell are membrane proteins. They act as first responders by ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Until now, scientists could only measure membrane ...

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 ...
