Using artificial intelligence, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new way to watch the inner workings of living cells in real time. The process both captures images ...

Macrophages drive key immune processes including inflammation, tissue repair, and tumorigenesis via distinct polarization states whose accurate identification is vital for diagnosis and immunotherapy.

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

A confocal microscopy image of a nine-day-old human embryo, with specific proteins and cellular structures colored distinctively. Green relates to embryonic stem cells and magenta associates with ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Key takeaways: Super-resolution ...

The use of nucleic acid-based nanostructures as synthetic biological tools to interface with and regulate cell processes remains challenging. A major obstacle lies in nuclear delivery and retention ...

Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have captured, for the first time, 'housekeeping' immune cells actively attacking and engulfing live melanoma cells – a discovery that could ...

Genome-wide chromosome conformation capture methods (such as Hi-C 1) revealed that mammalian genomes are folded into thousands of topologically associating domains (TADs) spanning 100–1,500 kb 2,3,4,5 ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their action relies on a specialized exchange zone called the "immune synapse," ...
