Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...

Research led by Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University in China has performed a metadata investigation into the presence of microplastics in humans. They report a concerning relationship between ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is an attractive route to nanoscale imaging for labs without conventional super-resolution microscopes. It involves linking fluorescent markers through a gel infused into ...

Both for research and medical purposes, researchers have spent decades pushing the limits of microscopy to produce ever deeper and sharper images of brain activity, not only in the cortex but also in ...

Researchers say study findings have highlighted biomarkers that could help improve early diagnosis of esophageal cancer, when it is easier to treat.

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes, which enables scientists to use them to study disease. The trouble is they never do it the same way twice, which has made ...

Hair may grow in a completely different way than scientists once believed. Instead of being pushed out from the root, new ...
