they grew into adult dendritic cells in mice within days. Using a two-photon microscope and other biochemical tests, Liu and her collaborators Gabriel Victora and Tanja Schwickert were able to ...

Generally, when you put a brain under a microscope, you've had to cut slices off ... and the little blobs above and below it are individual dendritic spines, or outgrowths, of the cell. The top image ...

Morphological features such as size, shape and density of dendritic spines have ... with this protocol is to microinject cells, image using a confocal microscope and then photoconvert the dye ...

They succeeded in 3D image reconstruction of minute morphology of dendritic trees on the computer using the advanced electron microscope technology. Consistent with this observation, they have ...

A new instrument lets researchers use multiple laser beams and a microscope to trap and ... they brought multiple live T cells into contact with a dendritic cell to initiate the formation of ...

Even be taught by neuroscientists to reliably recognize parts of brain cells ... microscopes can now autonomously and efficiently identify small neuronal compartments called dendritic spines ...

Colin Salter's new book Science is Beautiful: The Human Body Under the Microscope features a scanning ... research and for other viewers. A dendritic cell looks like a pale pink peony in ...

Follicular dendritic cell sarcomas are described as indolent, which means they grow slowly. The only way to make a definite diagnosis is to take some cells from the lump (a biopsy) to look at under a ...

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a subset of dendritic cells. They resemble plasma cells when viewed under a microscope and are distinct from conventional dendritic cells in terms of their ...

An electron microscope can show powerful levels of detail, but only on dead cells mounted and prepared ... the end can be seen on the neurons. These "dendritic spines" are the input, the place ...

The role of the third cell type -- the antigen-presenting dendritic cell -- in preventing ... and diabetes researchers used the new microscope to show that when Treg cells are absent, the ...

The fiberscope can image blood vessels, capillaries, blood cell movements, and dendrites, though its depth penetration and resolution cannot yet match that of the fixed two-photon microscope ... lie ...
