A Scripps team has adapted advanced imaging and computation to measure cell membrane thickness inside intact animal and yeast ...

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

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...

Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests our cells are also quietly harvesting mechanical motion and turning it into ...
