Negative Regulator Molecules01:23

Negative Regulator Molecules

38.5K
Positive regulators allow a cell to advance through cell cycle checkpoints. Negative regulators have an equally important role as they terminate a cell’s progression through the cell cycle—or pause it—until the cell meets specific criteria.

Atomic Mass01:52

Atomic Mass

70.0K
Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

Positive, Negative, and Zero Work00:58

Positive, Negative, and Zero Work

22.1K
Work is done on an object when energy is transferred to the object. In other words, work is done when a force acts on a body that undergoes a displacement from one position to another. By definition, the work done by a force is the integral of the force with respect to the displacement along its path. Forces can vary as a function of position, and displacements can occur along various paths between two points. The magnitude of a force multiplied by the cosine of the angle that the force makes...

Molar Mass01:54

Molar Mass

86.5K
The identity of a substance is defined not only by the types of atoms or ions it contains but by the quantity of each type of atom or ion. For example, water, H2O, and hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, are alike in that their respective molecules are composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. However, because a hydrogen peroxide molecule contains two oxygen atoms, as opposed to the water molecule, which has only one, the two substances exhibit very different properties.

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia01:30

Negative and Cognitive Symptoms of Schizophrenia

532
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia indicate a reduction or absence of typical behaviors and emotional responses found in healthy individuals, while positive symptoms reflect an excess or distortion of normal functioning.
Negative Symptoms
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia manifest as deficits in normal emotional and behavioral functioning, profoundly impacting daily life. Individuals with schizophrenia often display a flat affect, characterized by a near-total absence of emotional expression,...

Separation of Sister Chromatids02:17

Separation of Sister Chromatids

4.5K
At the transition from prophase to metaphase, there is a reduction in cohesion along the chromosomal arms, resulting in the resolution of sister chromatids. However, residual cohesin connections remain to hold the sister chromatids together until the transition from metaphase to anaphase. The residual connection prevents any premature separation of sister chromatids, blocking the risks of aneuploidy within the daughter cells.
At the onset of anaphase, separase, a proteolytic enzyme, is...

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Biophysics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Effective mass-based separation of particles is crucial for isolating diseased cells and other targets.

  • To explore applications in separating nano- and microsized particles of biological or synthetic origin.

Main Methods:

  • Investigating an inertial Brownian particle in a symmetric periodic potential.
  • Applying unbiased harmonic driving and a constant bias.
  • Analyzing the anomalous transport feature of negative mobility.

Main Results:

  • Identified an efficient separation scheme based on negative mobility, where particles move against the applied bias.
  • Demonstrated tunable mass selectivity over nearly two orders of magnitude.
  • Showcased control achieved by altering the frequency of the external harmonic driving.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a novel approach to mass-based particle separation.
  • This tunable mechanism provides the mass selectivity needed for diverse nano- and microparticle applications.
  • The findings have potential implications for isolating diseased cells and other specific particle types.
