Correct mitotic spindle size is required for accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. It is controlled by mechanical forces generated by molecular motors and non-motor proteins acting on spindle microtubules. However, how forces generated by
Volume changes, possibly as a result of the influx of water33, can thus lead to differences in interactions between key regulatory proteins in the cell. Previous studies have shown that mRNA concentration is typically higher in smaller cells, sometimes by a factor of two or more28; however, ...
A process for the treatment of a hydrogel by contact thereof with an aqueous solution containing from about 0.1 to 20 percent, by weight, of a water soluble mono- or polycarboxylic acid, preferably one which contains from 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, and more preferably from about 2 to abou...
material contains at least one primary compound capable of releasing, upon a reaction with an oxidation product of a developing agent, a secondary compound which is capable of further releasing a development inhibitor upon a reaction with another molecule of an oxidation product of a developing ...
In addition to the use of metal NPs, TiO2 only absorbs in the UV-region and as a result, a light absorbing material (such as a molecular dye) is usually introduced. The most common dye used in DSSCs is the ruthenium-based dye molecule (known as N719) and given its strong absorption ...
The invention discloses a preparation method for vaterite-phase calcium carbonate microspheres with a uniform size, comprising the following step of: using a double-hydrophilic hyperbranched polymer molecule as a template, and performing precipitation reaction between water-soluble calcium salt and ...
2. Description of Related Art Froth flotation processing for the separation of materials is a widely utilized technology, particularly in the fields of minerals recovery, industrial waste water treatment, and paper recycling for example. In the case of minerals separation, the mineral bearing ore is...
1. A method for reducing the particle size of a material, the method comprising: optionally reducing the particle size of said material by a mechanical process; swelling said material with a supercritical gas under pressure, wherein said supercritical gas is capable of swelling the said material;...
Liposome size and in vitro release of the active substance belong to critical quality attributes of liposomal carriers. Here, we apply asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) to characterize theranostic liposomes prepared by thin lipid film hydration/extrusion or microfluidics. The vesicles’ siz...
The results show that sonication of small-size hexagonal boron nitride tends to generate large nanosheets, due to a predominant solvent wedge effect. In addition, it is found that the composition of water/propanol co-solvent has an important effect on exfoliation efficiency. Interestingly, although ...
