One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

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

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

Imagine the life of a yeast cell, floating around the kitchen in a spore that eventually lands on a bowl of grapes. Life is good: food for days, at least until someone notices the rotting fruit and ...
