A new computational study led by University at Buffalo scientists and published April 21 in Biophysical Journal sheds light ...

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 ...

Cell membranes are more than just barriers—they are dynamic, multifunctional structures essential for life. From controlling what enters and exits the cell to enabling communication and repair, they ...

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 ...
