The academy adds that the advance "has moved biochemistry into a new era" and provided new ways of seeing complex structures and operations within human cells at a never-before-seen level of ...

Aberrations in TRPV6 channels may contribute to the development of cancer by disrupting the control of cell proliferation and cell death. The researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to ...

Today, he can generate 1,500 images per second on Titan Krios, the largest and most powerful of Scripps’ seven cryo-electron microscopes. If you were able to stack up the images he takes during ...

when cells were discovered under a microscope. But even with advances in light and electron microscopy, researchers who want to understand where various molecules are inside a cell — and thus ...
