Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer.

Cryoelectron microscopy ... by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or fixatives, allowing the study of fine cellular structures, viruses and ...

The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

A TECHNIQUE has been developed for observing monochromatic Cathodoluminescence from semiconductors in the scanning electron microscope, enabling optical micro-analysis of materials to be carried ...

A new study published in Nature Medicine has revealed the presence of microplastics – tiny fragments of degraded plastic – in ...

Highly purified virions of satellite tobacco mosaic virus (STMV) were found to crystallize at relatively low concentrations (300–500 μg ml −1) in pure water. Small crystals of these preparations were ...

To date, the characterisation of HSV-1 mutants in the study of virus assembly has been limited to transmission electron microscopy (TEM) without the addition of correlative light microscopy to ...

Light and electron microscopy each have their distinct limitations – with light it becomes increasingly difficult to resolve smaller and smaller features while electron microscopy can resolve small ...

Viruses are remarkably diverse pathogens that can infect ... revealing their organization. Unlike traditional electron microscopy techniques, which deliver high-resolution snapshots of small regions, ...
