Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

(Nanowerk News) Inside a living cell, proteins and other molecules are often tightly packed together. These dense clusters can be difficult to image because the fluorescent labels used to make them ...

Researchers discover how much inner-ear damage it takes to affect balance, showing why small declines can trigger major symptoms.

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

The microscopic world of cells and bacteria is incredibly important to understand, but tricky to study in detail, especially without harming the subjects. Researchers at EPFL have now developed a new ...

Cells and tissues rely on the circulation of red blood cells (RBCs) for oxygen supply. Two-photon (2P) microscopy is a reference technique for measuring RBC microcirculation and blood oxygenation ...

A collaborative effort by the Formosa-Jordan lab from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, the Fox lab from Duke University, U.S., and the Roeder lab from Cornell ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a route to bioimaging in which a crosslinked swellable hydrogel is used to physically expand fluorescently labelled tissues without disturbing the cellular structure.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells alive and functioning. When cells experience stress—such as lack of nutrients ...
