Conventional crop breeding is not time-efficient for creating inbred lines with desired genetic traits owing to the diploid nature of plants, wherein they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. In contrast, double ...
The research group of Professor Yoav Shechtman from the Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biomedical Engineering has developed groundbreaking technology enabling scientists to see dynamic processes in living cells. ...
Images of nanoscale structures inside living cells are in increasing demand for the insights into cellular structure and function that they can reveal. So far, the tools for capturing such images have been limited, but researchers ...
Cancers, degenerative diseases: deregulation of our cells' internal communication pathways is at the root of many conditions. Microtubules—microscopic protein filaments—play a crucial role in controlling these exchanges. ...
Like loading dock managers at a shipping warehouse, nuclear pore complexes act as gatekeepers to the headquarters of the cell, controlling traffic out of the nucleus.
In many cases, cells are very active in their movement and serve as power generators. The ability of cells to produce physical forces is one of the basic functions of the body. When running, for example, the forces generated ...
Researchers have developed a fluorescence microscope that uses structured illumination for fast super-resolution imaging over a wide field of view. The new microscope was designed to image multiple living cells simultaneously ...
Using a newly developed microscopy method, researchers from Freiburg and Cambridge have been able to quantify how small, dynamic molecular aggregates form in living cells for the first time. Such aggregates play an important ...
Researchers report new upgrades to a computational miniature mesoscope that enable single-shot, 3D high-resolution imaging with a wide field of view. The simple, low-cost miniature instrument could be useful for a wide range ...
Researchers at the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis have pioneered a new technique that will enable higher-resolution imaging of very small objects like neurons. The technique, which improves ...
