A collaboration between the University of Geneva and Lausanne University Hospital has shown in new detail how the body's defenses fight back against malignant cells. Those defenses involve T ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body’s specialized “killer” cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

In life sciences, confocal fluorescence microscopy (CFM) is widely regarded for producing high-resolution cellular images. However, it requires fluorescent staining, which poses risks of ...

Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells. Their ...

Researchers debunk what science believed about brain cell structure for 100 years, finding axons form repeating pearl-like ...

Cryo-expansion microscopy has enabled researchers to visualise the three-dimensional organisation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes ...

Researchers used cryo-expansion microscopy to map the immune synapse in near-native conditions, uncovering structural ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers. (Nanowerk ...
