The \u201c10<sup>5 <\/sup>gap issue\u201d refers to the difference between measured increases in single cell temperatures using cellular thermometry and theoretically calculated measurements.<\/p>\n<p>The research team suspects that cell type, stimulation, measuring distance from the heat source, and special characteristics of cells can account for the \u201c10<sup>5 <\/sup>gap issue.\u201d Investigating the validity of this conjecture will surely become an important topic in the field of cell heat production.<\/p>\n<p>This research will reexamine the \u201ctemperature\u201d parameter for cells from an entirely new perspective.
