Lymph nodes, considered the command centers of our immune system, often get swollen and stiff when fighting infection. Now, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has discovered that this mechanical ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...
