A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in ...

The membrane that surrounds cells in living organisms is extremely flexible and sensitive. How it protects itself from damage and renews itself is crucial for many life processes, and is not yet fully ...

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former Group Leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

How large, fully folded proteins can pass through cell membranes without destroying them has long been one of the open ...

The video opens with Professor Alex Johnson speaking directly to the camera. A lower-third graphic appears with his name and title. It reads, "Alex Johnson Assistant Professor of Biochemistry." Scenes ...

Diamond Light Source is one of the world’s most advanced scientific facilities. Located at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, it houses the UK’s national synchrotron facility ...

A laser-based innovation could allow electron microscopes to reveal biological structures that have long remained beyond ...

In a basement lab in Brandeis' Rosenstiel building, a refrigerator-sized microscope dominates a small, windowless room. On its surface, it looks like a featureless white box. Yet inside, it's a study ...

Cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM) is a powerful technique that combines fluorescence imaging for specific localization with electron microscopy for detailed structural ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...
