Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic transformation is a clear signal for us to reach for the ...
A collaboration between research groups at the University of California, TU Dresden in Germany and Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children's in Los Angeles has identified a mechanism by which embryonic cells ...
Yale researchers are providing new insights into how physical forces, such as cells being compressed in physically restrictive environments, play key roles in cancer progression. By analyzing liver ...
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, marked by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. What makes it more dangerous is the ability of cancer cells to move quickly through the ...
High-pressure homogenization is a powerful technique that can rapidly break apart stubborn cells, for example, by limiting the number of passes needed to disrupt them. The cooling available in a ...

Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) gathers inside a growing membrane bleb, creating a local increase in water pressure. This pressure draws in water and pushes the cell membrane ...
Tooth epithelium (cell surface; yellow) and mesenchyme (cell surface; magenta). Proliferating cells (cyan) expand the tissue, generating a mechanical pressure at the tissue center that drives the ...
