Tissue 'tipping points': How cells collectively switch from healthy to disease states

Cells convert mechanical forces into signals that influence physiological processes, such as exercise strengthening bones. A ...

Engineered E. coli use direct, cell-to-cell contact to grow into new structures

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

Why don't teeth count as bones?

The major resemblance between teeth and bones is what they're made of: hard tissue composed of minerals, such as calcium, ...

Single-Point Transfer Function Method for Subsurface Structure Detection With a Six-Component Seismometer

Abstract: We propose a single-station transfer function method using six-component (6-C) seismometer data. Conventional single-station methods assume monochromatic waves and rely on narrow-bandpass ...
