In this microscopic image, grey indicates small cell lung cancer cells, magenta shows Salmonella that have entered the cancer cells, and cyan reveals the virus spreading outward in a circular pattern ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

A microscopic 'Christmas tree' is a seasonal look at a remarkable science project that found eerie comparisons between the ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...

A vesicle, only a few nanometers in size and filled with neurotransmitters, approaches a cell membrane, fuses with it, and releases its chemical messengers into the synaptic cleft—making them ...

Current genetic sequencing techniques can provide much information about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or a drop of blood. But they are unable to reveal where ...

A team led by Prof. Dr. Dirk Haller has demonstrated for the first time that defective mitochondria cause injuries in the intestinal epithelium and influence the microbiome. In this microscopic image ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

A microscopic "Christmas tree" is a seasonal highlight of a remarkable science project that sees a quirky comparison of vast ...

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by ...
