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 ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

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

T cells are not able to create their cellular energy, called adenosine triphosphate or ATP, when they are inside a solid tumor. Now, researchers led by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center may ...
