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 ...

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 ...

Scientists designed autonomous nanovesicles capable of following glucose concentration gradients, even through the blood brain barrier in rats. From flies landing on food to the retraction of the ...

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 ...

Composition-gradient multi-angle light scattering (CG-MALS) is a biophysical technique that can be used to measure the self-association of macromolecules in solution. This technique allows fast, ...
