    GlossaryPermeability

    ability of substances to pass through a material or membrane

    Permeability refers to the ability of a material or membrane to allow substances, such as liquids or gases, to pass through it. In biological contexts, it often describes how easily molecules like water, nutrients, or drugs can move across cell membranes, which is crucial for processes like nutrient absorption and waste removal. For professionals, understanding permeability is essential for developing treatments that effectively target cells or tissues.
