A Simple Touchscreen Fluorescence Cell Imager Improves Workflow for Routine Applications Whether it’s for gaining a better understanding of how cells work, studying the effects of drugs or toxins on ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

To ensure our bodies function correctly, the cells that compose them must operate properly. Imagine a cell as a bustling city ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...

Organoids—self-organizing, self-reproducing structures that serve as 3D in vitro models—date back to 2009. Back then, researchers at the Hubrecht Institute led by Hans Clevers, PhD, introduced a ...

Immune cells fight infectious intruders, for example, or search for incipient cancers. Therefore, they are constantly migrating through the tissues of our body. But in the wrong place, immune cells ...

Biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry professionals turn to digital microscopy for consistent and efficient electronic documentation that keeps pace with the regulatory landscape. Scientists ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Cell culture is a fundamental technique in biotechnology and life sciences that involves growing and maintaining living cells outside their natural environment, typically in a controlled laboratory ...
