Using single-molecule tracking, the researchers were able to show for the first time that MHCII molecules cluster specifically on the cell surface upon contact with the virus—a process that is ...

A tiny mirror could make a huge difference for scientists trying to understand what’s happening in the micron-scale structures of living cells.By growing cells on the mirrors and imaging them using ...

We apply a quantum diamond microscope for detection and imaging of immunomagnetically labeled cells. ... (L-lysine) on the diamond surface to immobilize cells when necessary.

By scanning the cantilever across the sample, an image of the forces – and therefore the surface – is obtained. One useful application of AFM is imaging living tissue. Whereas scanning tunnelling ...

A novel optical microscope utilizing diffraction tomography to generate 3D holographic images of unlabelled live cells is now available from Tomocube. Called HT-1, the new microscope delivers ...

Live-cell staining enables the visualization of ORs expressed on the cell surface of HEK293T cells. Under a fluorescent microscope, ORs on the cell surface appear as punctate signals ...

The project, Use of Biosensors, Undertaken with the Probe of the Atomic Energy Microscope Applied to the Biological Area, to Map Ion Channels on the Surface of Cells, conducted by Pereira and financed ...

Cells can sense and respond to surface curvature in very clever ways, as shown in research. The results, which revealed that curvature is a profound biological cue, could pave the way to new tools ...

Pocket microscopes are a way to take a sense of adventure with you wherever you go. These tiny machines allow you to zoom in and see an object’s surface or even look at cells without the care ...

Viruses under the super microscope: ... Contact between the virus and the cell surface is a crucial first step, which can also prevent infections if entry into the cells is blocked.

Researchers Phil Santangelo and Eric Alonas are shown with a spinning disk confocal microscope used to image cells. ... microscopy reveals unprecedented detail of immune cells' surface. Jun 15, 2016.

Under the super microscope: ... Unlike most influenza viruses, which bind to glycans—i.e. carbohydrate chains on the cell surface—for infection, the H18N11 virus has a different target.
