The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior, opens and closes ion channels like a water faucet and converts a physicochemical stimulus into an electrical signal ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology. These models, known as synthetic or biomimetic cells, allow some of the basic ...

Artificial neural networks built with biological cells promises massive energy savings.

A team of UC Merced researchers has shown that tiny artificial cells can accurately keep time, mimicking the daily rhythms found in living organisms. Their findings shed light on how biological clocks ...

A research group led by Professor SUZUKI Hiroaki from Faculty of Science and Engineering at Chuo University, graduate students YONEYAMA Ryotaro (at the time), MORIKAWA Naoya, and USHIYAMA Ryota (at ...

You don’t want the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes inside your cells — it can make you seriously ill. Now, researchers at Aarhus University have used its unique mode of movement as inspiration to ...
