New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Heart samples were evaluated using an electron microscope to define the ultrastructural changes ... These results suggest that cardiac oxidative stress could be partly reduced by APS therapy in hearts ...

tells us that electron micrographs (pictures taken with a very powerful microscope) reveal voids (holes) in the condom that are up to 50 times bigger than the HIV particle. The analogy would be ...

APFMs and HAPFMs were sprayed with gold for 10 s and then observed by a scanning electron microscope ... and observed under a microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). Five regions were randomly selected ...

Skeletal muscle is the biggest organ of the human body, comprising at least 40% of its mass and containing 50–75% of all body proteins (Frontera and Ochala, 2015). It is pivotal to health and ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL)—commonly known as bad cholesterol—have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) -- commonly known as bad cholesterol -- have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor to heart disease. But these microscopic troublemakers have hidden ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...
