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 ...

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

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 ...
