The enormous amount of data obtained by filming biological processes using a microscope has previously been an obstacle for analyses. Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at the University ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers have succeeded in developing a microscope ...

CAPTION: (Top) Condensins seem to act as a molecular crosslinkers to make loops. (Bottom, left) Condensins (red) locate around chromosome center. (Bottom, right) Nucleosomes around the periphery ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...

Stanford researchers have combined two microscopy techniques to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that can show cell structures interacting in real time at an unprecedented 120-nanometer ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle of a living cell in four dimensions, capturing how the genetically minimal ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a combination of ...

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction. Cell division is a grand event which completely transforms the landscape.

Researchers have found a molecular mechanism that prevents multiplication of potentially dangerous cells by measuring the duration of mitosis. They have shown that this mechanism -- the Mitotic ...

EPFL spin-off Nanolive has developed a microscope that lets scientists look inside live cells - a feature they say is particularly useful for new drug discovery. Founded by CEO Yann Cotte in 2013, the ...
