Sticky spots on cell membranes hold onto the master regulator of cell polarity, helping to ensure that the regulatory protein accumulates in high enough concentrations to trigger cell polarity. Over ...

Small-scale analysis of RNA diffusion rates throughout cells of yeast and bacteria reveals that rates of change of entropy in certain time intervals are larger in areas with higher diffusion rates, ...

Quantum dots diffuse within living cells in a nearly two-dimensional fashion. This result, which was obtained using a new 3D microscopy technique that can track single particles, sheds fresh light on ...

In recent years, organic semiconductor materials have attracted considerable attention as key components for next-generation ...

In mouse-human heterokaryons, the lateral diffusion of major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens in the plasma membrane is enhanced by treatment of parent cells with ouabain. Ouabain treatment is ...

The basic principles of diffusion MRI (dMRI) were introduced in the mid-1980s. This method is deeply rooted in the concept that, during their diffusion-driven displacements, molecules probe tissue ...

Recent studies have revealed that within cells of both yeast and bacteria, the rates of diffusion of RNA proteins - complex molecules that convey important information throughout the cell - are ...
