Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

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

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

A confined cancer cell, where the mitochondria (in magenta) can be seen accumulating at the nuclear periphery (nucleus shown in cyan) and within nuclear 'dimples' (indentations). Cancer cells mount an ...

From axolotls to zebrafish, stem cells possess remarkable regenerative abilities, enabling them to restore lost limbs and repair damaged organs. These extraordinary capabilities, however, are not ...

Discover how specialized cells form immune-boosting niches in lung tumors, unlocking new strategies to enhance cancer treatments and improve outcomes. Study: Fibroblastic reticular cells generate ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
