Results of a pilot study conducted at the University of Rochester showed that a system based on two-photon fluorescence microscopy (TPFM) enabled rapi

The molecular mechanisms that support life depend on the fate of small populations of molecules. The functions of biomolecules, however, are traditionally characterised through bulk-phase biochemical methods that only report on ensemble averages. Such methods are not sensitive to population heterogeneity or short-lived reaction intermediates. Single-molecule methods that allow for the direct observation of individual molecules have significantly advanced our understanding of biology in the past ...

Today in Nature, University of Pittsburgh researchers describe for the first time a pathway by which cells repair damaged lysosomes, structures that contribute to longevity by recycling cellular trash.

In Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative dementias, proteins that normally play a role in healthy brain tissue turn bad, clumping together to form insoluble plaques and tangles as neurons wither and die.

Researchers explored the mechanisms underlying the bactericidal action of teixobactin at an atomic level.

Humans are good at looking at images and finding patterns or making comparisons. Look at a collection of dog photos, for example, and you can sort them by color, by ear size, by face shape, and so on. But could you compare them quantitatively? And perhaps more intriguingly, could a machine extract meaningful information from images that humans can't?

CrestOptics S.p.A., a manufacturer of high-end microscopy solutions and advanced systems for fluorescence microscopy and diagnostic applications, has been recognised as developing one of the ten best microscopy innovations in the 2022 Microscopy Today Innovation Awards, DeepSIM.

The viral replication cycle is crucial for a virus to spread inside the body and cause disease. Focusing on that cycle in the hepatitis A virus (HAV), UNC School of Medicine scientists discovered that replication requires specific interactions between the human protein ZCCHC14 and a group of enzymes called TENT4 poly(A) polymerases.

Urinary tract infections are both very common and potentially very dangerous. More than half of all Australian women will suffer from a UTI in their lifetime, and nearly one in three women will have an infection requiring treatment with antibiotics before the age of 24.

Bruker Corporation today announced the release of the NeuraLight 3D Ultra™ module to support advanced neuroscience and optogenetics research applications on Bruker’s Ultima multiphoton microscopes.
