Non-diffusive slow heat dissipation induces high local temperature in living cells

Masaharu Takarada, Ryo Shirakashi, Masahiro Takinoue…·Kohki Okabe

The paper investigates intracellular heat dissipation mechanisms and finds that non-diffusive heat dissipation causes slow temperature relaxation in living cells compared to homogeneous solutions.
