A world-first artificial cell can chase chemicals using only a membrane, an enzyme, and a pore—no DNA or motors needed.

We present a Hele–Shaw flow-based method (patent pending) for membrane filtration of a droplet of particulate suspension. The method features a sphere-on-flat, lifted Hele–Shaw cell (SoF-LHSC), where ...

A team led by the University of Sydney has identified red blood cell rupture at dying endothelial sites as a primary driver of microvascular obstruction in COVID-19, bypassing the expected role of ...

In addition, we also explored the biocompatibility, cytotoxicity, and the influence of the PLA@SF aligned porous composite fiber membrane on the growth behavior of peripheral nerve cells.

The design of the flow field structure for bipolar plates significantly influences the output performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Adding baffles in the flow channels can ...

The air-cooled proton exchange membrane fuel cell is widely used in unmanned aerial vehicle since its small size and high efficiency. The bipolar plate structure is an important factor affecting the ...

The methods of material transport across the cell membrane vary depending on the type of substance and the specific cell involved. In some cases, cells exert force and actively facilitate the passage ...

Here, we elucidate the full dynamics of red blood cells in shear flow by coupling two videomicroscopy approaches providing multidirectional pictures of cells, and we analyze the mechanical origin of ...
