All cells have an outer plasma membrane that regulates not only what enters the cell, but also how much of any given substance comes in. Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells also possess internal ...

The electron microscope reveals the structure of this gossamer layer, which not only constitutes the exterior of the cell but also folds inward to make up much of its internal architecture ...

Researchers are shining a light on cancer cells' energy centers—literally—to damage these power sources and trigger ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role as the powerhouses of cells, generating the energy necessary for cellular functions. For ...

also called polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell and the classic internal combustion engine (ICE). Over the past decade, most of the world's major automakers have expended a lot research ...

This takes place when molecules diffuse across the cell membrane by travelling through specific transport proteins. It occurs down a concentration gradient - molecules move from an area of high to ...

Zhou’s earlier cell studies showed the mitochondrial inner membrane could be disrupted by a protein that creates electrical ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found in both animal and plant cells. All life on ...

To do that, they developed a polymer coating that integrates with the bacterial cell membrane and chemically modified cell membranes with the catalytic polymers. “We took a common industrial ...
