Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the ...

Inclusive nature: snapshots of three different structures of tissue coexistence simulated in the study. (Courtesy: N Ganai et al/New Journal of Physics Altering the adhesion at the interface between ...

Obtaining clearer and more detailed microscopic images deep within tissue has become a rich area of research in fields ranging from adaptive optics to photodynamic therapy. Visualising biological ...

Recent advances in electronics and optics have opened new possibilities for terahertz (THz) waves—an invisible type of light that falls between infrared light and microwaves on the spectrum. The use ...

A simple light-based method is uncovering hidden fiber networks inside the brain and body, even in tissue slides over 100 years old.

Researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a new way of mapping cell populations and visualizing how biomolecules, including different sequences of DNA and RNA, are organized ...

An analysis of a 30,000-year-old fossil vulture from Central Italy has revealed for the first time that volcanic rock can preserve microscopic details in feathers - the first ever record of such a ...

Medical researchers can now use label-free microscopic techniques to visualize extracellular vesicles, which are associated with cancer. The Biophotonics Imaging Lab at the Beckman Institute for ...

Under the microscope, researchers often observe different cell types organizing themselves in peculiar patterns within tissues, or sometimes a rare cell type that stands out by occupying a unique ...
