Biophysicists at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munch have developed a new theory, which accounts for the observation that cells can perceive their own shapes, and use this information to ...

In a ground-breaking study, researchers report a new technique that allows them to visualize the distribution of retinoic acid in a live zebrafish embryo, in real-time. This technique enabled them to ...

Understanding the evaporation process of binary sessile droplets is essential for optimizing various technical processes, such as inkjet printing or heat transfer. Liquid mixtures whose evaporation ...

a) A classical morphogen (pink) elicits differential gene expression (represented by the black, red and blue bars) by activating different genes at different concentrations. b) One example of such a ...

Morphogens are secreted signalling molecules that organize a field of surrounding cells into patterns. They form a gradient of concentration emanating from a localized source, and determine the ...

A new article provides new insights into how immune cells find their way through tissues. The findings provide the first evidence for directed cell migration along concentration gradients of chemical ...

The proposed approach allows precise and independent control of average composition, slope, and curvature of full concentration gradients in high-nickel cathodes, resulting in lithium-ion batteries ...

Scientists designed autonomous nanovesicles capable of following glucose concentration gradients, even through the blood brain barrier in rats. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with ...

As the gradient decays, the position of this threshold value moves at varying speed along the membrane, depending on the cell shape. Thus, via this hierarchy of protein concentration profiles, the ...

A novel mathematical framework unlocks unlimited customization of full concentration gradient in high-nickel cathodes for improved safety and stability SINGAPORE, July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With ...
