What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

Fraunhofer researchers have developed a very fast technology for determining whether a tumor has been fully removed—before the patient even leaves the operating theater. Using a combination of laser ...

Neuroblastoma cancer cells before (left) and after (right) chemotherapy. The black threads are the cell's internal scaffolding, which breaks apart during treatment. This damage should kill the cell, ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Daughter cells vary significantly after stress In addition to real-time measurements under the microscope, the researchers examined various endpoints, such as the strength of different stress signals ...

Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers can now follow cell movement across time and space. The method could be very helpful for developing more effective cancer medications. The enormous ...
