An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Open any introductory biology textbook, and you'll see a familiar diagram: A blobby-looking cell filled with brightly colored structures – the inner machinery that makes the cell tick. Cell biologists ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

The analysis of cryo-X-Ray-microscopy data still requires a lot of time. Scientists developed a convolutional neural network, which identifies structures at high accuracy within a few minutes. BESSY ...

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 ...

Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

An electron microscope image of a mammalian cell with organelles depicted. In autophagy, some elements of a cell are degraded and recycled to generate nutrients and energy to sustain and preserve the ...

Scientists have created a set of tools to make annotated 3D images of cells, showing the relationships between different organelles. Open any introductory biology textbook, and you'll see a familiar ...
