Capturing the Contours of Live Cells with Novel Nanoimaging Technique Using Graphene
Nature Methods Scientists graphene coat cells to keep them alive and wet even in vacuum, significantly advancing the field of bioimaging Researchers from DGIST have now found a way to keep living, wet cells viable in an ultra-high-vacuum environment, using graphene, allowing — — accurate high-resolution visualization of the undistorted molecular structure and distribution of lipids in cell membranes. This could enhance our bioimaging abilities considerably, improving our understanding of mechanisms underlying complex diseases such as cancers and Alzheimer’s. With every passing day, hu...
