Scientists at the MPI-DS have investigated how this motion interacts with the growth of the entire colony, which can be observed in a wide variety of cellular aggregates. Such growth happens when ...

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 ...

Scientists at Aarhus University have developed nanomotors inspired by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and placed them inside artificial cells. The nanomotors drive the formation of internal ...

A soft microrobot uses light driven motion, temperature sensing, and localized heating to control single cells inside 3D cancer microtissues, improving precision in drug testing and tissue engineering ...

Cells migrate actively through a growing colony. This mixing can be inhibited when motility is too weak or growth is too strong. The ability to actively migrate is a fundamental property of living ...

Living cells may be capable of generating their own electricity using nothing more than microscopic motion, according to a new scientific framework. Researchers suggest that constant movement within ...
