Scientists have successfully grown over 400 different types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab—a groundbreaking step toward replicating the complexity of the human brain.

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far ...

Methods to simultaneously localize the positions of multiple single fluorophores by precisely determining their individual positions are now yielding impressive gains in fluorescence microscopy ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

Researchers have created over 400 distinct types of human nerve cells in vitro, vastly expanding the diversity available for ...

A team has made a major breakthrough in the field of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of large-scale biological tissues. They ...

This important study presents a new method for longitudinally tracking cells in two-photon imaging data that addresses the specific challenges of imaging neurons in the developing cortex. It provides ...

After the first observations of life under the microscope, it took two centuries of research before the 'cell theory', the idea that all living things are composed of cells or their products, was ...

Abstract—Sensory neurons that innervate the heart sense ischemia and mediate angina. To use patch-clamp methods to study ion channels on these cells, we fluorescently labeled cardiac sensory neuron ...

Like a lot of people nowadays, Artist Rick Dallago is fascinated by selfies. Rick paints key moments in history – or recreates famous works of art -- and then paints a cell phone into the image. His ...

Segmentation of white blood cells in digital haematology microscope images represents one of the major tools in the diagnosis and evaluation of blood disorders. Pathological examinations are being the ...
