Desiccation tolerance across life forms interpreted as having nucleated from the surrounding, denser phase.
The possibility of differential plant use among inhabitants of the nucleated core with respect to the dispersed residential zone is also considered.
This could allow pluripotent stem-like cells to arise in normal tissues and nucleate cancer growth.
These nucleated regions are connected to the outer epidermis by means of long, microtubule-lined processes.
This is analogous to the low-energy, low-entropy crystal state which nucleates out of a super-cooled liquid at low enough temperature.
In the mature egg, this nucleated envelope contains extensive endoplasmic reticulum, suggestive of a protein synthetic capacity.
The paternal centrosome seems to nucleate microtubules for positioning the male and female pronuclei.
The extracted polymers also had the ability to nucleate ice at relatively warm temperatures but to a lesser degree.
