Nerves look blue in the reconstructed view of a genetically engineered mouse (left) whose neurons produce a fluorescent ...

After the first observations of life under the microscope, it took two centuries of research before the 'cell theory', the idea that all living things are composed of cells or their products, was ...

When surgeons dissect tissue to remove a tumor or make a repair they must work cautiously, relying on electrophysical ...

Although most cells are so tiny that they can only be seen through a microscope there are some important differences ... Some ...

Scientists used 3D mini-brains grown from stem cells to study Huntington’s disease. They found early developmental changes linked to mitochondrial stress, suggesting that energy imbalance may play a ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods ...

To avoid this restriction, which is known as vignetting, Cui explains that the team separated the two lenses and inserted a Keplerian telescope between them. “This ‘telescope-within-a-microscope’ ...

A study by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies hold ...
