Scientists apply principles of math and physics to unravel the mystery of how the endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle vital ...

The immune system must be able to quickly attack invaders like viruses, while also ignoring harmless stimuli, or allergies can result. Immune cells are known to ignore or "tolerate" molecules found on ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

Distribution of Ranvier nodes along myelinated axons is a critical determinant of conduction velocity, significantly influencing spike arrival timing and hence neural circuit function. The patterns of ...

NGS, next-generation sequencing; DCs, dendritic cells; PBMCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells ... Images were acquired on a fluorescence microscope (BZ-X800; Keyence, Osaka, Japan). Retrospective ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Morphological observation assesses cell damage by directly examining changes in cell morphology under a microscope. If there are evident changes in the morphology of the cells following stimulation, ...

Nevertheless, such observations are complex─they require delicate samples kept in the liquid phase, low electron dose, and proper cell viability verification methods. Despite being highly demanding, ...

Scientists at Auburn University have uncovered a fundamental principle of how brain cells stay connected ... Using advanced microscopes and computer models, they found that the denser these ...

including miniature microscopes that captured single-cell resolution in live animals. The study shows that memories are stored in dendritic compartments: When one memory forms, the affected ...
