Yale scientists decipher the energy patterns in our cells

The discovery offers a potential pathway to harness the energy in our cells to tackle diseases like cancer.

This groundbreaking research, a collaborative effort by scientists at the Yale Systems Biology Institute, has uncovered the thermodynamic principles that underpin energy use in our cells, a discovery that significantly advances our understanding of cell energy dynamics.

For the first time, researchers have measured how energy forms different wave patterns in the cell’s outer membrane and its internal structure, known as the cytoskeleton.
