Study finds that large embryo cells divide step by step using a mechanical ratchet system, challenging the textbook idea of a ...

Another theory held that the forces between two particles falls off exponentially in direct relationship to the distance between two particles and that the factor by which it drops is not dependent on ...

New York, NY — Researchers at AppliedPhysics.org have published an exploratory study in Biosystems examining whether mathematical acoustic signal structure can influence cellular response independent ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Looking at cells from a mechanistic perspective can provide insight into their behaviour and function that is not available through more empirical approaches. Numerical techniques and ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Using a pioneering method they developed to directly measure viscosity in a group of cells, Associate Professor Jacob Notbohm and PhD student Molly McCord have made a surprising discovery that upends ...
