Fluorescent probes have transformed modern biology by allowing researchers to tag and visualize individual molecules in ...

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 ...

In this study, researcher developed a new imaging approach that combines two powerful techniques to solve this problem. First, a special type of microscope called a two-photon microscope is used, ...

Ultrasound is one of the most widely used imaging techniques in medicine, but up until recently it hardly played a role in imaging the tiniest structures of our bodies such as cells. “Clinical ...

Biological tissues have a remarkable ability to organize and change shape, driven by forces generated by their own cells. One ...

A team of scientists at Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) has created a protein-based therapeutic tool that could change the way we treat diseases caused by ...

Scientists captured clear images of biomolecules in single live cells in water for the first time using infrared (IR) transmission imaging. The IR technique enables researchers to measure the mass of ...
