Protein aggregates are associated with the development of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. These are found more ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of the most detailed views of life ever recorded. Day and night, they collect ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...

Imaging living cells in 3D Now, the team of scientists has managed to image specifically labeled cells in 3D with ultrasound. For the first time, they imaged living cells inside whole organs across ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Cells are crowded, dynamic places where thousands of molecules interact in tight quarters. Until now, scientists lacked a ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...

Tiny, quivering spheres designed to feed and multiply raise prospect of artificial organisms to make drugs, food and fuel ...

Quantum science, cellular biology and high-def TVs come together in new biosensors. (Nanowerk News) Putting hypersensitive quantum sensors in a living cell is a promising path for tracking cell growth ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...
