Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University of Cambridge in collaboration with colleagues at HHMI Janelia and NIH, have created some of the most detailed three-dimensional maps ever ...

In blood cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B cells of the immune system multiply uncontrollably. One form of therapy involves labeling the CD20 protein on the surface of the B cells with ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

System could enable study of complex biological processes in live animals over long periods with less tissue damage than ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their action relies on a specialized exchange zone called the "immune synapse," ...

The brain relies on real-time delivery of oxygen and nutrients through its microvasculature, which threads through neural tissue like electrical wires. While modern imaging technologies allow ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

Chemists discover how key contrast agent works, paving a way to create new markers needed for correlative microscopy that can image the structure and signaling of cells at the same time. Two labs at ...
