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

MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

A new method allows scientists to label and image many different molecules at once within a living cell. The technique relies on 'switchable fluorophores' -- fluorescent proteins that turn on and off ...

Reagent creates short, stable protein crosslinks, enabling researchers to identify previously unknown protein-protein interactions ...

In a lab rack that looks more like a high-end audio system than a server, clusters of human brain cells are quietly learning ...
