Cell crowding causes high-grade breast cancer cells to become more invasive by activating a molecular switch that causes the cells to shrink and spread.

Innovative membranes from the University of Michigan enhance desalination processes, reducing brine waste and energy ...

Researchers have developed new membranes that could help to minimize or eliminate the brine waste that is produced during the desalination process that turns seawater into drinking water.

Desalination plants, a major and growing source of freshwater in dry regions, could produce less harmful waste using ...

In addition to systemic inflammation, they found that patients with brain fog had leaky blood-brain barriers, the highly selective membrane that protects the brain from toxins, viruses ...

A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has ...

the researchers developed a hybrid membrane composed of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) integrated with aramid nanofibers (ANFs). This ANF/COF composite forms a robust hydrogen-bonding network and ...
