Living organisms adapt their behavior and movements based on information they acquire from their surrounding environment. But oftentimes this information is imperfect, and the organism needs to act ...

A research team at the University of Chicago has discovered a crucial signaling pathway that controls the growth of nascent nerves within the spinal cord, guiding them toward the brain during ...

A recent study has revealed that specific patterns of gene activity serve as a hidden map that guides the complex wiring of ...

Microfluidic chemical gradient generators enable precise spatiotemporal control of chemotactic signals to study cellular behavior with high resolution and reliability. However, time and cost consuming ...

For understanding the structure and function of catalysts in action, researchers have developed a new diagnostic tool. Operando X-ray spectroscopy visualizes the structure and gradients of complex ...

Microplastic is a global concern recently, yet the factors associated with particle behavior after entering marine environments remain uncertain. Using three years of observations integrated with ...

The transport of ions is essential to maintain electrophysiological balance on either side of the membrane, called osmotic balance, which is needed for signals to be transduced from their chemical ...
