New fluorescent dyes allow scientists to watch cancer activity inside living cells in real time, opening new possibilities ...

Researchers developed a large-scale, dynamic imaging technique using mesoscopic oblique plane microscopy, which can capture 3D images of entire organisms and maintain cellular resolution. A new ...

Researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Salk Institute have developed VIS-Fb probes, a new class of fluorescent nanobodies that light up only when bound to target proteins, ...

With machine learning methods and an advanced technique called lattice light sheet microscopy (LLSM), scientists have now revealed structures on the surface of B cells that influence how those immune ...

Cells contain a wealth of information about health and disease, but extracting that data reliably from microscope images remains a major challenge. Many important differences between healthy and ...

To study living organisms at ever smaller length scales, scientists must devise new techniques to overcome the so-called diffraction limit. This is the intrinsic limitation on a microscope's ability ...

Understanding how tumors change their metabolism to resist treatments is a growing focus in cancer research. As cancer cells adapt to therapies, their metabolism often shifts, which can help them ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

It started in a neuroscience lab. Andrea Antonini was researching endoscopic microscopy – essentially, microscopic imaging of the body’s internal organs – alongside other neuroscientists at the ...

The study of biological systems varies from whole organisms, organs, and organoids, down to their building blocks of proteins and cells. At the lower end of the scale, atomic force microscope (AFM) ...
