Membrane-bound gases as a fundamental element in the motion of living cells
Any movement of the living organism involves distortion of cells. Each cell is a complex structure comprise of interconnecte network of elastic fibers, elastic membranes, and liquids. We claim here that gases are another essential component in cells, and that ignoring the presence of gases in cells creates a fundamental and unresolve ambiguity in cell motility.
