A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.

To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city ...

Observing individual cells through microscopes can reveal a range of important cell biological phenomena that frequently play a role in human diseases, but the process of distinguishing single cells ...

Seeing inside cells with CryoEM technology. Video produced by BYU University Communications. Producers Adam Sanders and Julie Walker. Edited by Adam Sanders. Additional footage provided by Caltech and ...

Chemotherapy is a powerful weapon against cancer, but certain cells resist treatment by entering a dormant stage called senescence. These therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells may become resistant to ...

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

After it fills with cargo, the pit pinches off to form a clathrin-coated, membrane-bound vesicle inside the cell, which then proceeds to its proper destination. In cultured cells, hundreds of these ...

A microscope picture of human bone cells (U2OS) showing the localization of a lipid (phosphatidylethanolamine). The lipid is visible in orange, the cell membrane in purple, and endosomes in white. New ...

It started in a neuroscience lab. Andrea Antonini was researching endoscopic microscopy – essentially, microscopic imaging of the body’s internal organs – alongside other neuroscientists at the ...
