The Cell Membrane & Transport: How Cells Control Their Internal World

Life depends on boundaries. From the skin that protects our bodies to the walls that shelter our homes, boundaries allow living things to maintain order and stability in a constantly changing environment. At the microscopic level, cells rely on one of the most remarkable structures in biology to establish that boundary—the cell membrane. This thin, […]

Yet the true foundation of life lies not at the level of ecosystems or even individual organisms, but much deeper, at the […]
