A team of researchers in Germany and Australia recently used a new microscopy technique to image nano-scale biological structures at a previously unmanageable resolution, without destroying the living ...

Researchers have developed a new type of microscope that can acquire extremely large, high-resolution pictures of non-flat ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

The field of tissue engineering aims to replicate the structure and function of real biological tissues. This engineered tissue has potential applications in disease modeling, drug discovery, and ...

This release is available in German. Microscopes provide valuable insights in the structure and dynamics of cells, in particular when the latter remain in their natural environment. However, this is ...

There's a problem in cell biology research: to study what happens inside a cell, it has to be destroyed. When scientists use a traditional microscope to observe a cell, they use stains -- chemicals ...

A study has revealed the three-dimensional genomic structure of male germ cells and how this structure determines function. It represents a significant advance in our understanding of how the dynamics ...

THE surface of the red blood cell has been studied extensively by means of the electron microscope. This requires replica techniques or the preparation of haemoglobin-free “ghosts”; the interpretation ...

Researchers have reconstructed transcription in human mitochondria in unprecedented detail, revealing potential drug targets ...
