A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

Expansion microscopy (ExM) is an attractive route to nanoscale imaging for labs without conventional super-resolution microscopes. It involves linking fluorescent markers through a gel infused into ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

There have been several significant technological advances within the field of microscopy over recent years, however the diffraction limit of light microscopy has restricted resolution at the ...

A pandemic-era breakthrough has allowed scientists to literally expand our view of plankton. By using ultrastructure expansion microscopy, researchers visualized the inner workings of hundreds of ...

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy of murine male germ cells reveals the fine molecular structures of centrioles (shown in the enlarged image). DNA is stained in blue, and the chromosome axis in red.

Nearly eight to 12 percent of couples all over the world face fertility issues, with male infertility accounting for almost 50 percent of the cases. 1 A common cause of male infertility is errors ...

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Now, an international team of researchers led by ...
