With a so-called cryo plasma-FIB (Plasma Focused Ion Beam) scanning electron microscope with nanomanipulator, Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany) is expanding its research infrastructure with a ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

Understanding how tumors change their metabolism to resist treatments is a growing focus in cancer research. As cancer cells adapt to therapies, their metabolism often shifts, which can help them ...

Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths of two powerful microscopy methods, allowing researchers to see both the ...

A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

The connection between cancer response and autoimmune disease in the brain lies with the antibodies deployed to fight cancer.

(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...
