2 days ago · Genetics. In biology, translation is the process in living cells in which proteins are produced using RNA molecules as templates. The generated protein is a sequence of amino acids. This sequence is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA. The nucleotides are considered three at a time.
4 days ago · Definition: Strength is the capacity of materials, components, or structures to withstand applied loads or forces without failure, excessive deformation, or damage. It is a fundamental property in materials science and engineering that determines the ability of a material to resist mechanical stress. Strength encompasses various aspects, including:
3 days ago · To calculate the radial component of the cell elongation tensor relative to the origin in cell α, we first define the radial direction. To this end, we use a 3D vector r connecting the origin to the cell centroid, and we project its direction r ¯ = r ¯ / ∥ r ¯ ∥ into the tangent plane of the cell, which defines the in-plane radial direction r ¯ tangent .
3 days ago · In most plants, the zygote divides asymmetrically to define the body axis. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the zygote undergoes polar elongation maintaining a transverse band of cortical microtubules (MTs), and divides asymmetrically forming another MT band, preprophase band (PPB). How the MT band is maintained at the actively growing cell tip and whether it contributes to PPB formation remain ...

For humans, it includes the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibule, urinary meatus, vaginal introitus, hymen, and openings of the vestibular glands. The vulva includes the entrance to the vagina, which leads to the uterus, and ...

2 days ago · Life extension. Life extension is the concept of extending the human lifespan, either modestly through improvements in medicine or dramatically by increasing the maximum lifespan beyond its generally-settled biological limit of around 125 years. [1] Several researchers in the area, along with "life extensionists", "immortalists", or "longevists ...
