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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
