This image shows a mouse mammary epithelial cell grouping, or "organoid," with branching protrusions to the side with higher concentrations of epidermal growth factor. (Purdue University ...

The study of gradient flows and large deviations in stochastic processes forms a vital link between microscopic randomness and macroscopic determinism. By characterising how systems evolve in response ...

We investigated the effects of 6- and 10-T static magnetic fields (SMFs) on the expression of protooncogenes using Western blot immunohybridization methods. We used a SMF exposure system, which can ...

To decide whether and where to move in the body, cells must read chemical signals in their environment. Individual cells do not act alone during this process, two new studies on mouse mammary tissue ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Myxamoebae of the morphogenetic cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum are thought to be able to accurately read and respond to ...

Molecular gradients have been established as a key driving force for cellular organization in the formation of early structures during embryonic development. A new live imaging technique has been ...
