The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Every cell is like a battery and the ion channels that regulate cells are a bit like transistors, using membrane potential to turn on all kinds of important things,” said Clapham. He joined Louis “Lou ...
