Mitochondria are cell organelles surrounded by a double membrane. In addition to numerous essential functions in the metabolism of the cell, they also play a key role in the integration of signals ...
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
