Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
