In this study, researcher developed a new imaging approach that combines two powerful techniques to solve this problem. First ...

A collaborative study from the University of Cologne has uncovered how a key mitochondrial protein, AIFM1 (Apoptosis-Inducing ...

Electron microscopy allows us to visualise exactly how these drugs bind inside the carrier to jam it—a spanner in the works, you could say.

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 ...

A colorized transmission electron micrograph depicts cellular mitochondria with its characteristic internal folds called cristae. [Thomas Deerinck, National Center for Microscopy and Imaging ...

Sebastian Valenzuela, a doctoral student at Sahlgrenska Academy, has analyzed the molecule’s structure, including by means of cryo-electron microscopy.

Scientists uncover for the first time how the body's energy makers are made using Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) at eBIC within Diamond which is based in Oxfordshire. Mitochondria are ...

Mitochondria are often called the powerhouses of the cell. We explain how they got this title, and outline other important roles that they carry out.

Mitochondria, often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell," are responsible for energy production and are vital for neuronal health. In Alzheimer's disease, impaired mitochondrial function ...

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 ...
