Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Flexoelectricity, which can transform mechanical deformation into electrical signals, could provide enough power to fire ...

Inositol phosphates are crucial secondary messengers that modulate a wide range of cellular processes, from energy metabolism to gene expression. These molecules, particularly inositol pyrophosphates, ...

Common pollutants are disrupting energy production at the cellular level in wild seabirds, potentially affecting fitness, new ...

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 energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

A comprehensive mini-review published today after peer review in Brain Medicine by Dr. Tao Ma and colleagues at Wake Forest ...

Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests ...
