Our results suggest that the rise in depletion attraction renders chromosomes more rigid, ensuring accurate chromosome transmission during cell division (Figure 2)," said Iida.

As President Donald Trump and Congress fumble through his One Big Beautiful Bill on the budget for fiscal year 2025-26, they have been ignoring the mastodon in the room: Social Security and Medicar… ...

In order to induce the depletion attraction between colloids, the sample is put in contact with a salt solution through a semi-permeable membrane.

Groundwater depletion is worsening in many of the world’s farming regions. But a global study also found that some efforts are helping to boost aquifers.

Orientation-independent-DIC imaging reveals that a transient rise in depletion attraction contributes to mitotic chromosome condensation.
