Just as countries import a vast array of consumer goods across national borders, so living cells are engaged in a lively import-export business. Their ports of entry are sophisticated transport ...

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

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

Schematic of UV-W process. (a) Schematic of UV-W process. (b) Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy of the PEI-IIM, PEI-ICM with UV-W process 20 h and 40 h. (c) Ion permeation and selectivity ...

Traditional water filters struggle to remove smaller PFAS molecules, but a new Monash-designed filter changes that. Researchers at Monash University have developed a water filtration membrane that ...

Scientists describe the design and construction of artificial membrane channels, engineered using short segments of DNA. The DNA constructions behave much in the manner of natural cell channels or ...
