Researchers have developed a new X-ray nanotomography microscope. Using their new system, they can reveal the structures on the smallest components of mammalian cells in three dimensions. For the ...

The N.C. Brown Center for Ultrastructure Studies in Baker Laboratory provides instruction and assistance in light microscopy methods, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ...

A new study provides unprecedented insights into the cellular architecture of over 200 species of plankton using ultrastructure expansion microscopy. Dudin had been working with this particular group ...

Focal adhesions are known as signalling platforms broadcasting the information of the biochemical and physical qualities of the extracellular matrix into intracellular signalling cascades. However, ...

Researchers have succeeded in 3D printing with a wood-based ink in a way that mimics the unique 'ultrastructure' of wood. Their research could revolutionize the manufacturing of green products.

Huntington's disease is a progressively debilitating brain disease that causes uncontrolled movements, psychological problems, and loss of cognition. Huntington's is caused by a mutation in the gene ...

Wood ultrastructure of the Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), Amborella (Amborella trichopoda) and Joint fir (Gnetum edule) at x1000 and x50,000 magnifications under cryo-SEM. Wood cells and cell ...

Calcium homeostasis, involving the flow of calcium ions within cells, is essential for cell signaling and function. Importantly, calcium enters the cellular powerplants known as mitochondria, where it ...

Expansion microscopy image of Lacrymaria, a ciliated eukaryotic microorganism, collected from environmental samples in Tokyo. Highlighted in green is tubulin, the major protein component of ...
