4+ hour, 51+ min ago   (880+ words) Cryо-electron tomography has quietly become one of the most powerful windows into the interior of cells, allowing researchers to peer at the molecular machinery of life in a state close to its native, frozen-hydrated condition....

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (562+ words) Lensless cameras may soon become far more capable of recording moving biological samples, thanks to a new computational imaging framework developed by researchers at Nanjing University and Peking University in China....

3+ week, 1+ day ago   (534+ words) A cell that has become cancerous, aged or otherwise abnormal may appear to have crossed a biological point of no return. Once its internal molecular circuitry has stabilized in a new state, removing the original trigger often does not restore…...

1+ mon, 1+ day ago   (400+ words) A tiny microscope weighing just five grams could give neuroscientists an unprecedented view of how individual brain cells control behavior while animals move naturally....

4+ mon, 3+ week ago   (787+ words) Researchers have pioneered a revolutionary microscopy technique that combines the power of magnetic fields with polarized light to expedite and quantitatively enhance malaria detection directly from blood samples. This novel method promises to transform malaria diagnostics by reducing reliance on…...

5+ mon, 3+ week ago   (1298+ words) Huntington’s disease, a relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is notorious for its gradual erosion of motor control, cognitive function, and emotional regulation. The illness stems from the accumulation of a mutant huntingtin protein that exerts toxic effects on neurons, ultimately leading…...
