Understanding when and why a cell dies is fundamental to the study of human development, disease and aging. For neurodegenerative diseases such as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Composite of three mages from new microscope technology show a cell's replication machinery in green, already-replicated DNA is ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

There's a problem in cell biology research: to study what happens inside a cell, it has to be destroyed. When scientists use a traditional microscope to observe a cell, they use stains -- chemicals ...

Maybe you remember “the cell” from your high school biology book? A smooth, brownish blob, cut away to show the supposedly neat and orderly components, arranged just so. It was an uncomplicated look ...

Scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory and colleagues have unveiled a new microscope that can track the position and orientation of individual molecules in living cells—nanoscale measurements ...

German researchers have developed a microscope that depicts cells in never-before-seen detail. Not only does the microscope have a 100 nanometer resolution, up from the 200 to 300 nanometer focus of ...

Imagine a microscope implanted into your body that could automatically sort out cancerous cells based on how they looked. That's the long-term promise of a lensless microscope that Caltech researchers ...

For the first time, scientists have peered into living cells and created videos showing how they function with unprecedented 3D detail. Using a special microscope and new lighting techniques, a team ...

A novel optical microscope utilizing diffraction tomography to generate 3D holographic images of unlabeled live cells is now available from Tomocube. Called HT-1, the new microscope delivers ...
