“Cells should be cultured in an accurate physiological oxygen setting if we want to get results that are applicable and relevant.”

The new miniaturized microscope and related imaging methods offer unprecedented insight into nervous system function and could lead to novel pain treatments.

Researchers at the University of Leicester have solved the three-dimensional structure of a gene repression complex that is known to play a role in cancer

Findings could guide development of treatments for Lassa fever

This critical link could help researchers better understand cancer and diabetes pathways

Study published today in Science sheds light on structure of nuclear pore complex, which plays a crucial role in controlling molecular traffic to a cell's nucleus

For more than a decade, scientists across the globe strived to replace failing pancreatic beta cells linked to immune destruction in children (type 1 diabetes) or obesity-associated diabetes in adults (type 2 diabetes)

In two recent Caltech studies, researchers used a state-of-the-art imaging technique to capture, for the first time, three-dimensional views of this tiny complicated machinery in bacteria

"We were driven by curiosity about the evolution of the nuclear pore complex"

The new approach is more sensitive than existing tools and could help researchers detect illnesses at a much earlier stage
