Single-celled organisms ruled, and there wasn’t much to them. They were what we now call prokaryotic cells, which include modern-day bacteria and archaea, essentially sacks of loose molecular parts.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a new imaging method that clearly visualizes nanoscale structures within ...

In Nijmegen, Netherlands, researchers have installed the world's first microscope capable of live imaging of biological ...

Researchers have also detected biomolecular condensates in prokaryotic, or bacterial, cells, which traditionally were defined as not containing organelles. This finding could have profound effects ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible.

Cell membranes ... by using cryo-electron microscopy,'' explains Robbie Loewith. This technique allows samples to be frozen at -200°C to trap membranes in their native state, which can then be ...

Recent electron-microscope observations 11,12 have shown that a crystalline lattice of particles may be seen within the nuclear inclusions of cells infected with measles virus. In the present ...
