By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Exosome-associated THSD7A is identified as a key trigger of filopodia formation in cancer cells and neurons, revealing a ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

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 ...

Pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory type of programmed cell death, has garnered attention for its potential in cancer treatment. Characterized by cell swelling and the formation of "bubble" structures, ...

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
