Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

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

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

New evidence of electrical power generation on cell membranes could offer insights into how living cells interact with their ...

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) ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

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 ...

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 ...
