A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...

In 1922, French physicist Léon Brillouin predicted an interesting phenomenon – when light is shone on a material, it interacts with the naturally occurring thermal vibrations within it, exchanging ...

Processes in the human body are shaped by the interaction of various biomolecules, such as proteins and DNA. These processes take place in a range of often just a few nanometers. They can therefore no ...

Unprecedented views of the interior of cells and other nanoscale structures are now possible thanks to innovations in expansion microscopy. The advancements could help provide future insight into ...

Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the inner workings of living cells in real time. The process both captures images ...

Researchers have adapted a class of techniques employed in astronomy to unblur images of far-away galaxies for use in the life sciences, providing biologists with a faster and cheaper way to get ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...
