Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

Human bodies are usually described as chemical engines, powered by glucose and oxygen. Yet a wave of new research suggests ...

In the same way that ChatGPT understands human language, a new AI model developed by computational biologists captures the language of cells to accurately predict their activities. In the same way ...

Researchers at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin have discovered how catalysts in fuel cells work ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

Researchers have uncovered how different types of brain cells work together to form large-scale functional networks in the human brain -- interconnected systems that support everything from sensory ...

What researchers know of human cells is pieced together like a scrapbook full of snapshots: division here, fertilization there, with maybe a bit of differentiation in between. While scientists know ...

NEW YORK, NY (Jan. 8, 2025)--Using a new artificial intelligence method, researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons can accurately predict the activity of genes ...
