The researchers want to determine how the numbers, sizes, and structures of the mitochondria might link to the abilities of the cells, and by extension, the placenta as a whole, to function properly.

The 3D electron microscopy imaging is available using Serial Block Face (SB-EM) and Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) or Electron Tomography (ET) Electron tomography is TEM based ...

Using advanced cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers visualized the mitochondrial RNase Z complex, which is crucial for tRNA maturation. They captured high-resolution images showing how this ...

We use microscopes to look at very small things. The microscope magnifies the image so that it appears larger than it would with just our eyes. The magnification of a lens on a microscope is shown ...

and the bioenergetic role of mitochondrial energy-converting complexes in human mitochondrial disorders. To study these macromolecular machines, we combine biochemical and structural biology methods, ...

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope, and on the right with the transmission electron microscope. Cytoplasm Where enzymes and ...

Electron microscopy has enabled visualization of ... to fully study the 3D structure of important cell components such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. EMDiffuse addresses this ...
