This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

While HIV-1 infection of target cells with cell-free viral particles has been largely documented, intercellular transmission through direct cell-to-cell contact may be a predominant mode of ...

Research on anode-less solid-state lithium metal batteries reveals how metal interlayers influence lithium plating stability ...

Our body fat may turn out to be a secret weapon in our everlasting fight against cancer. A new study released this week ...

Light microscopy images were used because they are much easier and faster to obtain than electron microscopy images and suitable for analyzing large numbers of living bacterial cells. Moreover, we ...

"I have yet to encounter a single human being who says, 'There's a bunch of plastic in my brain and I'm totally cool with ...

A recent project conducted by in-house researchers at the UK’s national synchrotron facility on its Hard X-ray Nanoprobe beamline, looked at how microplastics waste may interact with zinc oxide ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

By analyzing the brains of 52 dead patients, scientists were able to visualize how microplastics amass inside us ...

Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron microscopy. Specimens remain in their native state without the need for dyes or ...
