New research details the subcellular structures in neurons that enable signals to be transmitted from where they are received at specific sites on dendrites to the decision-making cell body located ...

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique that can acquire 3D super-resolution images of subcellular structures from about 100 microns deep inside biological tissue, including the brain.

Spatial demography—the spatial analysis of demographic processes—has long been used to derive insights from otherwise bewildering masses of data. Back in 1854, it was used by John Snow to identify the ...

A breakthrough in imaging technology promises to transform our understanding of the inner workings of living cells, and provide insights into a wide range of diseases. Just as healthy organs are vital ...

Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) can provide invaluable insights into subcellular structures in their native environment at ...
