Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...
A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...
