Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

Recent research published in Nature Neuroscience provides a detailed cellular map of how physical activity remodels the brain ...

Regular exercise doesn’t just burn calories—it fundamentally changes your fat tissue at a cellular level, according to groundbreaking research. A recent study has uncovered surprising differences ...

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

Decoding cellular signals has long been a cornerstone of biomedical research, offering insights into how cells communicate and respond to environmental changes. This knowledge is vital for diagnosing ...

A basic function of cells is that they act in response to their environments. It makes sense, then, that a goal of scientists is to control that process, making cells respond how they want to what ...

Most biological chemistry research has historically focused on the obvious cogs of machinery that keep life moving. Folding proteins, genetic activity and electrical signaling pathways are the easiest ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...
