Christophe Leterrier uses advanced microscopy to uncover neurons’ intricate nanostructure and dynamics while creating ...

Researchers at EPFL have created CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that selectively labels centrioles and cilia in living cells across species. The tool enables unprecedented live imaging without genetic ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like ...

Abstract: Understanding microtubule dynamics has important implications for establishing nanometer level machines. Object tracking is one of the important issues necessary to elucidate the dynamics of ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. With the advancement of modern technology, the role(s) of microtubules in the pathogenesis of heart disease has become ...

An image of a large segment of a microtubule with a peeling tip. The colors highlight the different protofilaments that make up the tubule. The protofilaments are long biopolymers consisting of the ...

Microtubules, a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells, serve as scaffolds and play vital roles in cellular processes such as cell division, cell migration, intracellular transport, and ...

Health Surgery performed on a baby in the womb, a rogue chatbot deletes a company's database, why the universe could end much sooner than expected, and forecasters race to understand this year's rapid ...

The chromosomes, once they have duplicated genetic information, move to the center of the cell and the cell, in a very remarkable way, quickly sprouts from its two ends large tubes that hook the ...

Pushing the MINFLUX technique to higher spatial and temporal precision allows protein dynamics to be observed under physiological conditions. Scientists led by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell at the Max ...
