THE surface of the red blood cell has been studied extensively by means of the electron microscope. This requires replica techniques or the preparation of haemoglobin-free “ghosts”; the ...

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 ...

This topic explores the diverse landscape of cell death mechanisms, emphasizing both regulated (non-apoptotic) and apoptotic pathways. We aim to provide an in-depth analysis of how these processes ...

Electron microscopes are expensive but highly useful pieces of kit. Around the world they are used to study all sorts of samples, from energy materials for battery technologies to virus particles ...

The best microscopes for kids allow children to discover the world in miniature. As these naturally curious little scientists journey around the big wide world we see them inevitably become ...

Necrosis is a form of cell death that can be caused by illness, infection, injury, radiation or chemicals. During necrosis, cells swell, burst and lyse, spilling their contents into the extracellular ...

resulting in a marked improvement in the quality of cryo-electron microscopy (EM) reconstructions (known as the "resolution revolution"). This approach and developments in image processing and data ...

Gliocidin selectively kills glioblastoma cells by inhibiting nucleotide synthesis, showing potential as a therapeutic option ...
