Not anymore. Researchers at Purdue University have created an electron microscopy technique termed “cryoAPEX” that accurately tracks membrane proteins in a well-preserved cell. The new method is a ...

Cell membranes play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and functionality of cells. However, the mechanisms by which ...

Using a new, lightning-fast camera paired with an electron microscope, scientists have captured images of one of the smallest proteins in our cells to be "seen" with a microscope.

How cells sense changes in the biophysical properties of the plasma membrane is thought to involve microregions on the membrane - known as microdomains - which are postulated to possess a specific ...

Electron microscope images reveal how cells absorb a vital mineral First glimpse of a calcium membrane pore in action identifies a potential target for treating cancer Date: December 20, 2017 ...

Using multiphoton three-dimensional microscopy, Cornell University biophysicists have achieved the first visualization of cell membrane sacs (vesicles) as they change shape.

Our approach further allows for facile correlative super-resolution and electron microscopy of wet cells directly on the culturing substrate.

Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers have obtained the first detailed snapshots of the structure of a membrane pore that enables epithelial cells to absorb calcium. The findings ...

Blood Clots, Liver Cells and Bird Flu Are Surprisingly Beautiful Under a Microscope The brightly-colored micrographs and scans in a new book, Science is Beautiful, answer big questions about the ...

The outcome is a three-dimensional image of the cell's plasma membrane arrangement, complete with perspectives of the barrier inside. By creating a very precise platinum-carbon duplicate of the ...

The first study to elucidate the dynamics of membrane cholesterol transport in erythrocytes has been successfully concluded using holotomography microscopy.
