For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

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 ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Scientists have simulated dozens of electron transport layer-free cell structures and have identified the optimal design with a Zr:In2O3 front transparent electrode, a CuSCN hole transport layer, and ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

BESSY II's high-brilliance X-rays can be used to produce microscopic images with spatial resolution down to a few tens of nanometers. Whole cell volumes can be examined without the need for complex ...

No modern laboratory is complete without at least one basic microscope, an essential tool for biologists in medical research. Transmitted light methods have largely been replaced by fluorescent ...
