Peering deep into the cellular universe: Allen Institute researchers map cell parts in 3D. by Charlotte Schubert on January 10, 2023 at 8:37 am January 10, 2023 at 8:44 am.

The growth of new segments (body parts) in marine worms is controlled by a special growth zone, in which special stem cells are located. New segments then emerge by the division of these cells.

In contrast, Nanolive’s technology detects the physical refractive index of the different cell parts with resolution far beyond the diffraction limit (see Nobel prize 2014 for chemistry). As the ...

Now researchers are taking a retrospective look at older data in search of these elusive cell parts. Organelles are microscopic structures inside of cells that perform specialized functions, ...
