Single-molecule imaging shows that three CBX2 protein molecules can seed Polycomb condensates that silence genes in stem cells. The discovery reveals how rare proteins organize genome regulation and ...

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 from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

“We were stuck in the mindset that glucose is an energy source and nothing else,” Stanford Medicine chairman of dermatology Dr. Paul Khavari said. His are the words that define the paradigm shift ...
