Genoa (Italy), July 24, 2025 – Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

The key to understanding the drivers of physical and neurological disease lies in part with understanding the microscopic fiber networks found in human tissue. A new study reveals a promising new ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...

Microscopy is an imaging technique that enables us to see a world that would otherwise be invisible to us. Once upon a time, visualizing cells, microbes and other entities not perceptible to the naked ...

Cell mass and chemical composition are important aggregate cellular properties that are especially relevant to physiological processes, such as growth control and tissue homeostasis. Despite their ...

A new imaging study challenges long-standing ideas about how hair grows and could lead to new treatments for hair loss. Scientists have discovered that human hair does not emerge because it is pushed ...

Research led by Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University in China has performed a metadata investigation into the presence of microplastics in humans. They report a concerning relationship between ...

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are everywhere—from the air we breathe to the food we eat—but their impact on human health is not entirely clear. While cell culture and animal studies hint at potential ...
