Research teams led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger have used advanced microscopy techniques to study how T-cells—key players in the immune system—activate and multiply during viral ...

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, ...

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is essential for investigating cellular structure and dynamics. Traditional optical methods rely on adhesive or mechanical forces to hold and scan cells, which limit ...

Peking University, Aug 18, 2025: Professor Xi Peng’s team from the College of Future Technology at Peking University has recently developed a triangle structured illumination microscopy (SIM), which ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

A robust, image-based neurotoxicity assay helps scientists streamline subcellular neuronal analysis with live-cell dyes and high-throughput automated microscopy. Neuronal cell culture models allow ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Center for Cell Dynamics, School of Biological and Behavioral Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with Carl Zeiss, have developed an innovative live-cell ...

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 ...
