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

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before. This breakthrough may help explain why immunotherapy works for some ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

At the recent ELRIG Drug Discovery conference, Technology Networks<i/> spoke with Dr. Kundan Sharma to learn more about how cell-free expression platforms are transforming membrane protein research.

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...
