Red blood cells are essential for oxygen transport and immune function in the human body. When these cells become abnormally shaped, they can indicate serious health conditions, including diabetes, ...

Researchers at Tsinghua University have created a rapid, label-free method using polarized light detection to identify and ...

Large-scale human genetics studies have shown that many risk variants for common and complex diseases sit in the non-coding genome, where they can alter ...

SAN DIEGO & OXFORD, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ONI (Oxford Nanoimaging), a life science tools company focused on developing super-resolution microscopy, announced today the launch of the Aplo Scope, a ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Scientists have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of influenza viruses as they move across and slip inside human cells. The footage reveals that cells are far from passive targets and instead ...

How flu viruses enter cells has been directly observed thanks to a new microscopy technique with the potential to revolutionize research on membrane biology, virus–host interactions and drug discovery ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza (“flu”) viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, developed at ETH ...
