Light microscopy is the only way in which we can look inside a living cell, or living tissues, in three dimensions. An electron microscope only gives a two-dimensional view, and the organic sample ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

I was again sitting at the electron microscope, this time with a stellar British graduate student, Amy Vincent. ... Across organs and cell types, mitochondria look different.

Scientists uncover for the first time how the body's energy makers are made using Cryo-Electron Microscopy ... For example, almost 40% of each heart muscle cell is made up of mitochondria.

Live mitochondria seen in unprecedented detail: Photobleaching in STED microscopy overcome Sequences of up to 1,000 sharp, super-resolved images of live mitochondria, the power generators of cells ...

Mitochondria, which exist within human cells but have their own DNA, need many different proteins to function -- but the process of how they get these has never been imaged in detail.

Breakthroughs in microscopy are illuminating organelle interactions, providing critical insights into cellular processes and ...

To look at the ribosome-mitochondria phenomenon more closely, scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the University of Virginia (UV) used cryo-electron microscopy and ...

Cell rejuvenation. The transplanted mitochondria also have a high survival rate—more than 80 percent. In most cells, the injected mitochondria begin to fuse with the filamentous network of the ...

The technique is sort of a combination of light microscopy, which bounces light off of objects, and electron microscopy, which bounces electrons off of objects. UC, San Diego Bringing color to ...
