A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

An international team led by researchers from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, has used advanced ...

Biological membranes of cells and their subunits (organelles) are organized into tiny regions (nanodomains) made up of fats ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

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 ...

Liquid cell electron microscopy has emerged as a transformative method that enables the in situ imaging of dynamic processes within liquid environments. This technique overcomes the traditional ...
