"It looked like fireworks under a microscope and that was the moment that told us there is something very special about this animal and we needed to understand it." Those fireworks were Tplax's quick ...

There's a problem in cell biology research: to study what happens inside a cell, it has to be destroyed. When scientists use a traditional microscope to observe a cell, they use stains -- chemicals ...

Researchers have developed a new microscope that offers a clearer view of the cellular world. The technology gives scientists an opportunity to watch in unprecedented detail how spinal nerve cells ...

Engineers and neuroscientists have joined forces to create 3D videos of individual nerve cells moving, stretching and switching on inside fruit fly larvae as they move. Data gleaned from these videos ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories ...

For hundreds of years, images of cells have come from isolated specimens sitting on glass slides, removed from their intricate and subtle cellular universes within living organisms. Now, using a new ...

Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, ...

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 ...
