Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...

Researchers at LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center have identified a previously underappreciated role for tiny structures inside cells called peroxisomes in protecting insulin and maintaining ...

Just like workers need the right environment to efficiently perform their tasks, proteins require placement within specific cellular compartments to function properly. Therefore, understanding the ...

Although numerous spatial transcriptomics analyses exist for evaluating RNA localization, these methods face several limitations. Cell fractionation techniques, such as density gradient centrifugation ...

Newswise — The University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) Confocal Microscopy Core facility is now offering researchers access to a state-of-the-art STED microscope that provides ...

Mapping a human cell gives researchers a view of subcellular architecture and sheds light on how cancer develops. It’s been more than two decades since scientists finished sequencing the human genome, ...
