We took these designs from nature and optimized them,” said Ph.D. candidate Eric Chadwick at the University of Toronto. His ...

The brain is a unique place. It is shielded from much of the body by the blood-brain barrier, meaning it's protected from ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

Plankton may be tiny, but they play an important role in the ocean. As the foundation of marine ecosystems, they support ...

During my PhD, I used a device called the rotating membrane diffusion cell along with a semi-permeable membrane made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a silicon-based rubber with slight lipophilic ...

We then construct a diffusion tensor for anisotropically smoothing plates and satisfying necessary scale-space properties. Our method finds applications in improving the fidelity of highly noisy cell ...

Abstract: The lateral diffusion coefficients of the lipid cell membrane molecules of HeLa cells were measured by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) with the irradiation of 0.10 and 0.29 ...
