Lab-grown muscle stem cells from mice mimic the formation of muscle fibers in vivo. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent ...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is a method that resolves molecular events specifically at or near the cell surface (see How It Works). Major microscope manufacturers, ...

Researchers invented a new type of microscope called reflective matrix microscope, which uses adaptive optics techniques. Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and ...

Visualizing tissues and neurons inside an animal's skull has long been a challenge for biophotonics techniques, thanks to the skull's thickness and the complex structures inside. A team at the ...

Non-invasive microscopic techniques such as optical coherence microscopy and two-photon microscopy are commonly used for in vivo imaging of living tissues. When light passes through turbid materials ...
