Sequences of up to 1,000 sharp, super-resolved images of live mitochondria, the power generators of cells, were recorded at 1.5 frames per second Light microscopy is the only way in which we can look ...

Electron microscope (EM) has revolutionized our ability to visualize the intricate details inside cells. The advancement to 3D electron microscopy, known as volume EM (vEM), has further expanded this ...

Organelles perform the fundamental processes that help cells (and hence organs, tissues, and organisms) stay alive and operative. In the past several decades, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) ...

Scientists at Scripps Research published findings that demonstrate how a mitochondrial protein structure is necessary to activate the cell’s integrated stress response (ISR), which is a critical ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria, the 'powerhouses' of our cells, allows us to make the fuel we need from sugars, a ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. New research shows cancer cells can steal these energy generators from healthy cells to speed their growth. A 3D diffusion tensor imaging scan of nerve ...

A research team has created a fluorescent marker molecule that does not degrade under a STED microscope: the photobleaching problem has been solved. Images of living cells can now be captured over ...
