The idea of concentrations and the gradients within them is important when understanding the movement of particles or molecules across cell membranes. A solution with a low solute concentration has a ...

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 ...

A morphogen is a type of signalling molecule that imparts pattern to a developmental field by acting directly on cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The best-studied model system for ...

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 ...

Scientists from National Taiwan University and the National Institutes of Applied Research of Taiwan have developed a rapid and accurate microfluidic device that generates precise drug gradients and ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach that can help create safer and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries. Combined with an automated reactor system, the mathematical x-framework allows unlimited ...
