A closer look at Insulin and how it functions at the cellular level to regulate blood sugar. Discover the science behind this ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is the most preferable system for live-cell super-resolution imaging. It enables the observation of intricate subcellular dynamics. However, conventional SIM ...

This study presents MPALM, a novel microscopy technique that captures nanoscale biomolecular dynamics, overcoming limitations ...

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 have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

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, ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells.
