However, observations carried out with a phase-contrast microscope on isolated living liver cells from animals kept in hypoxia indicate that vacuoles are not visible in non-fixed, unstained cells.

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) - commonly known as bad cholesterol - have long been on scientists' radar as a major contributor to heart disease.

A new study finds that the Sudan virus, a deadly Ebola relative, binds to human NPC1 receptors with nine times greater ...

For each structural strain of tau fibrils, they identified amino acids without which the strain cannot form its signature ...

The Sudan virus, a close relative of Ebola, has a fatality rate of 50% but remains poorly understood in terms of how it infects cells. Currently, no approved treatments exist.
