The University of Osaka researcher shows that solid-state hysteresis can be described using thermodynamic state variables When the input variable X is changed as X0→X1→X0, the response Y of the system varies as A→B→C →D→A.…
Gut Microbes: A Key to Normal Sleep
Tsukuba, Japan (Researchsea)— With fall and winter holidays coming up, many will be pondering the relationship between food and sleep. Researchers led by Professor Masashi Yanagisawa at the University of Tsukuba in Japan hope they…
Protein Tells Developing Cells to Stick Together
Scientists have noticed first experimental evidence that cell stickiness helps them stay sorted within correct compartments during development. But scientists have long observed that not-yet-specialized cells move in a way that ensures that cell groups…
A powerful computational tool for efficient analysis of…
A joint research team co-led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a novel computational tool that can reconstruct and visualise three-dimensional (3D) shapes and temporal changes of cells, speeding up the analysing…
Blood Pressure Drug may be Key to Increasing…
A stress response of mitochondria, the part of our cells that produce energy to power bodily functions, is important to a longer life. A team of scientists from Osaka City University, Japan, searched through a…
