Expansion microscopy (ExM) is a route to bioimaging in which a crosslinked swellable hydrogel is used to physically expand fluorescently labelled tissues without disturbing the cellular structure.

All life is made up of cells several magnitudes smaller than a grain of salt. Their seemingly simple-looking structures mask the intricate and complex molecular activity that enables them to carry out ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called 'segmentation' and it enables a range of applications, ...

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the ...

Cryo-electron tomography shows what molecules look like in high-resolution – in this case, the virus that causes COVID-19. Nanographics, CC BY-SA All life is made up of cells several magnitudes ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...
