Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in diseases Katarina Zimmer, Knowable Magazine Innovative techniques are helping ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human cells. The footage reveals that cells are far from passive targets and instead ...

But watching how the flu virus sneaks into cells has been difficult because standard microscopes can't capture these fast, tiny steps clearly. In a breakthrough study, scientists from Switzerland and ...

Entamoeba histolytica is a single-cell parasite that causes intestinal disease, but sometimes invades the body, attacking cells and creating liquefying abscesses. UC Davis parasitologist Katherine ...

Study finds ultrathin tubes connecting brain cells that transport Alzheimer's proteins. The network changes months before ...

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...

Scientists have developed an experimental way to study how human embryos implant in a uterus, which may provide new insights into why miscarriages occur and how they can be prevented.
