Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into ...

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...

Symmetric Li-ion cells have the same material as the positive and negative electrode (when cells are assembled one would already contain lithium and the other wouldn’t). Although the cells have an ...

However, in a Li-ion cell it is hard to be sure how to separate the impedance into that from the positive interface and that from the negative interface. To do that, symmetric cells containing two ...

Why are there more cells with SC-like qualities in mammary glands expressing ERBB2? SCs can undergo symmetrical cell division, which increases the SC population by generating two daughter SCs ...

Traditionally, these cells were thought to fire in single, compact regions of space with a stereotypical symmetric shape. However, recent research has revealed that in larger environments ...

Fakhri's group at MIT studies the physical dynamics that drive cell growth and development. She is particularly interested in symmetry, and the processes that govern how cells follow or break ...
