Sometimes the connections we make between disparate things are less than obvious. For Debra Edgerton, the connection between ...

A small team of archaeologists, geologists, paleontologists and climate scientists has found that at least one type of ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling ...

Researchers at the University of Kentucky have developed a cost-effective, non-destructive microscopy technique to study cancer cell metabolism at the single-cell level. Published in Biophotonics ...

A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...

Structural biology is the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules, particularly proteins and nucleic acids, and how alterations in their structures affect their ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

A dose dependent conversion from basal circular to elongated polarized morphology of fMLF stimulated neutrophils were confirmed by bright-field imaging of two randomly selected fields using 40x ...

2017), while single-cell recordings are limited to a smaller spatial area (Prevedel et al., 2014). 3. Optical microscopes are usually quite sophisticated and heavy, and thus hardly compatible with ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...
