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 ...

What physical processes govern the movement of microscopic structures capable of interacting with their environment? The answer lies in two mechanisms: self-propulsion, to escape unfavorable locations ...

The receptor for the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) is widely considered to be one of the central drivers of oncogenesis in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region (HNSCC). Inhibition of ...

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration, and is one of the ways substances can move across the cell ...

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 ...
