Artificial cells created in the laboratory offer a wide range of potential applications. Until now, however, their ...

A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, ...

Phase separation is a fundamental principle of cellular organization that typically leads to two coexisting phases: a dense one, where intermolecular interactions are stronger and molecules are more ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. In this Review, we examine ferroptosis mechanisms at the cellular level. We first describe the events that lead to lethal plasma ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

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 ...

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 ...
