Ion Channels

91.4K
The movement of ions like sodium, potassium, and calcium into and out of the cell is essential to maintain the electrochemical gradient in living cells. The ion channels—a class of membrane transport proteins—help maintain this ionic gradient for the smooth functioning of physiological activities such as maintaining cell size and volume, conducting nerve impulses, and gas and nutrient exchange.
Ion channels are specialized integral membrane proteins on the plasma membrane that allow...

Nuclear Stability03:18

Nuclear Stability

23.2K
Protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons, are packed together tightly in a nucleus. With a radius of about 10−15 meters, a nucleus is quite small compared to the radius of the entire atom, which is about 10−10 meters. Nuclei are extremely dense compared to bulk matter, averaging 1.8 × 1014 grams per cubic centimeter. If the earth’s density were equal to the average nuclear density, the earth’s radius would be only about 200 meters.

Machines

578
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. One example of a machine is the cutting plier, which is used to cut wires by applying forces to its handles. When equal and opposite forces are exerted on the handles of the cutting plier, they cause the cutting edges to come together and apply equal and opposite reaction forces on the wire, which are greater than the applied forces.

RNA Stability01:53

RNA Stability

35.7K
Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

Area of Science:

  • Soft Matter Physics
  • Rheology
  • Machine Learning Applications

Background:

  • Droplet shape in concentrated emulsions reflects local stress and interactions, influencing bulk properties.
  • Traditional shape descriptors are inadequate for complex, concentrated systems.
  • Understanding these shapes is crucial for predicting emulsion stability and flow behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Apply a convolutional autoencoder to analyze droplet shapes in concentrated emulsions.
  • Develop a low-dimensional code to represent droplet shapes.
  • Predict droplet instability and break-up using machine learning.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a convolutional autoencoder model trained on 500,002 images of 2D droplet boundaries.
  • Input data derived from microfluidic flow movies of concentrated emulsions.
  • Model learned an 8-dimensional code for shape description and break-up prediction.

Main Results:

  • Achieved 91.7% accuracy in predicting droplet break-up, surpassing traditional methods (∼60%).
  • Identified 4 interpretable dimensions in the 8-dimensional code: skewness, elongation, throat size, and surface curvature.
  • Drop elongation, throat size, and surface curvature were identified as key predictors of break-up.

Conclusions:

  • The machine learning approach effectively captures complex droplet shape information in concentrated emulsions.
  • This method enhances the prediction of droplet break-up and stability.
  • The approach is applicable to other soft materials like foams, gels, and biological tissues.
