Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...
Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that ...
Felipe Rivera, director of the microscopy facility at BYU, stands in front of one of the university’s new transmission electron microscopes, which will allow undergraduate students to capture 3D ...
Macrophages—or “big eaters”—are exactly what they sound like. These immune cells roam our bodies hunting down infections, cancers, or injuries. When they detect a target, the cells release a calvary ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital discovered that metabolism controls regulatory T cells, the “brakes” of the immune system (MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 24, 2025) Metabolism guides the ...
Within cells lies an intricate, microscopic world that remains invisible to the human eye. To visualize cellular details, scientists rely on the power of electron microscopes. With unparalleled ...
