A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...
Microscopy continues to transform the life sciences. Here are five recent breakthroughs made possible by the technique.
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
The first line of treatment for cancer is, whenever possible, to remove the cancerous tissue from the body. Though often ...
Researchers devised a way to expand tissue 20-fold in a single step. Their simple, inexpensive method could pave the way for nearly any biology lab to perform nanoscale imaging. A classical way to ...
Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...
A new two-photon fluorescence microscope developed at UC Davis can capture high-speed images of neural activity at cellular resolution thanks to a new adaptive sampling scheme and line illumination.
The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...
Among modern cancer therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are among the most successful treatment methods. These ...
