If you used their density to estimate the cells in a human body, you’d come to a staggering 724 trillion cells. Skin cells, on the other hand, are so sparse that they’d give you a paltry ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the ...

The new microscope is a so-called multifocus microscope, which provides completely clear images, sorted into different layers, where you can study the cells from all angles. "It's a big deal.

Simply put, the new microscope can capture even the tiniest cell structures as it has a resolution better than five nanometers. The newly-developed instrument is called a fluorescence microscope ...

Microscope image of the miniature fallopian tube growing in a lab dish. (Image credit: MPI f. Infection Biology) In 2015, scientists used stem cells in a lab dish to grow the innermost cellular ...

This seminar provides an overview of fluorescence microscopy in cancer research and other cell-based applications in the biosciences discovery workflow. In comparison with phase contrast and ...

This microscope image provided by Pasca Lab/Stanford Medicine shows a human astrocyte cell, center in yellow, and human glial cells (scattered in blue) inside the brain of a rat. AP ...

Thanks to the advanced cryo-electron microscope in Umeå, researchers have for the first time been able to take three-dimensional images of how the poliovirus forms and takes over human cells.

Back then, people believed that it killed cells by injecting them with a poison. But as she watched it through a microscope, she saw something very different. E. histolytica was actually taking bites ...

Back in 2011, during her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Virginia, Ralston observed the parasite under a microscope and found that it was actually taking bites out of human cells.
