Original Source: Diffusion-weighted MRI of the prostate.
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) can complement MRI of the prostate in the detection and localization of prostate cancer, particularly after previous negative biopsy. A total of 13 original reports and 2 reviews published in 2010 demonstrate that prostate cancer can be detected by DWI due to its increased cell density and decreased diffusiveness, either qualitatively in DWI images or quantitatively by means of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). In the prostate, the ADC is influence...

Bacterial physiology: Diffusion barrier segments the stalk
Cross-bands in the stalks of Caulobacter crescentus are composed of at least four proteins and act as diffusion barriers for both soluble and membrane proteins.
Tailored exciton diffusion in organic photovoltaic cells for enhanced power conversion efficiency
Photoconversion in organic photovoltaic cells, which relies on charge generation at donor/acceptor interfaces, is limited by short exciton-diffusion-lengths. Diluting an electron donor into a wide-ene...
