Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

A scientific experiment observing how white blood cells react under the microscope after exposure to food components, ...

Memantine, a long-approved and cost-effective drug used to treat Alzheimer’s disease, could also benefit patients with sickle cell anemia in the future. Initial clinical data from an international ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

How do cells acquire their identities? In hopes of answering this question, a Duke team recently completed a study explaining the expression of stem cells after a decade of research. Stem cells are ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

Scientists have mapped individual sugar molecules on the surface of cells at a resolution once thought to be impossible for light microscopes. It is the first sub-nanometre optical resolution achieved ...
