The potential to isolate and regulate the biodynamics of single cells is significant in drug design and screening. However, pre-existing experimental reports in single-cell drug screening must yet ...

Morphogens are secreted signalling molecules that organize a field of surrounding cells into patterns. They form a gradient of concentration emanating from a localized source, and determine the ...

As the gradient decays, the position of this threshold value moves at varying speed along the membrane, depending on the cell shape. Thus, via this hierarchy of protein concentration profiles, the ...

Scientists designed autonomous nanovesicles capable of following glucose concentration gradients, even through the blood brain barrier in rats. From flies landing on food to the retraction of the ...
