Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel, Switzerland, have now gained ...
"Seeing invisible worlds, far smaller than the wavelengths of light, is absolutely critical to understanding the matter we are engineering at the nanoscale, not just in 2D but in 3D as well," said ...
On the moon, the lack of atmosphere and accompanying features such as biological activity, oxygen-rich air, flowing water and ...
A collection of protocols detailing sample preparation, experimental acquisition and data analyses approaches using electron microscopy and electron tomography based methods. This protocol describes ...
In a study published in Nature Communication recently, a team led by Prof. BI Guoqiang from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, ...
Research has demonstrated that actin waves propagate via actin polymerization on the substrate-attached cell membrane at the wave’s front and disassembly at the back of the wave. 4 Proteins named Arp2 ...
A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and in a ...
With the inventions of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in 1931 and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shortly after in 1937, scientists gained an unprecedented ultrastructural view of the ...
