A basic function of cells is that they act in response to their environments. It makes sense, then, that a goal of scientists is to control that process, making cells respond how they want to what ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Research provides the first-ever high-resolution, cell-resolved map of the human scalp during early aging. In A Nutshell Hair ...

Optical microscopy is a key technique for understanding dynamic biological processes in cells, but observing these high-speed cellular dynamics accurately, at high spatial resolution, has long been a ...

Researchers created a cryo-optical microscopy method that freezes live cells in milliseconds, enabling multi-mode imaging of fast cellular events. (Nanowerk News) Optical microscopy is a key technique ...

The boundary between life and death appears increasingly complex as scientists uncover evidence of cellular activity persisting after an organism’s death. This phenomenon dubbed the “third state” ...

Receptors are cellular components that trigger internal changes based on external signals. Researchers have built a new synthetic receptor with incredibly broad potential to program cell activity, ...

Dr. Daniel Pompa’s recent Instagram insights have highlighted a fascinating phenomenon that bridges the gap between our emotions and cellular health, demonstrating how psychological stress directly ...

Decoding cellular signals has long been a cornerstone of biomedical research, offering insights into how cells communicate and respond to environmental changes. This knowledge is vital for diagnosing ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...
