Determining the properties of biomolecules—particularly of proteins—in their natural environment is a critical step in analyzing their functions and elucidating the mechanisms behind cellular and ...

Quantum dots diffuse within living cells in a nearly two-dimensional fashion. This result, which was obtained using a new 3D microscopy technique that can track single particles, sheds fresh light on ...

Small-scale analysis of RNA diffusion rates throughout cells of yeast and bacteria reveals that rates of change of entropy in certain time intervals are larger in areas with higher diffusion rates, ...

The software allows researchers to do three different types of diffusion studies using Olympus FluoView® confocal microscope systems, providing flexibility for the widest variety of cell biology and ...

Recent studies have revealed that within cells of both yeast and bacteria, the rates of diffusion of RNA proteins - complex molecules that convey important information throughout the cell - are ...

Red blood cells (RBCs) are a type of blood cell whose role is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues of the body. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli of the lungs into the RBCs, ...

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 ...
