A new version of Cellpose —the popular tool that maps the boundaries of diverse cells in microscopy images —now works on less-than-perfect pictures that are noisy, blurry, or undersampled.
A sophisticated molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures the accurate assembly of genetic information from the genome into ...
Megakaryocytes form a three-dimensional (3D) cage composed of laminin and collagen IV connected to the basement membrane surrounding them. This microarchitecture stabilizes megakaryocytes within their ...
The newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum possesses a potentially highly flexible cell wall: When water is ...
The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...
This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...
Tokyo-based startup ArkEdge Space claims it has snapped what is “probably” the highest quality images of Earth taken by a ...
New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.
The first complete 3D reconstruction of the compound eye of a minute wasp species sheds light on the nuts and bolts of size reduction.
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 to heart disease.
