A cell's ability to repair its damaged DNA is one of the most fundamental processes in biology, helping protect us from ...

MSK researchers are shedding new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that can cause DNA replication to stall. The structures are a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Image ...

Researchers have discovered how the protein XPD detects severe DNA damage and controls its repair. The XPD protein is a central component of our body's own "DNA repair team," known as nucleotide ...

In the crowded nucleus of every human cell, the two-metre stretch of DNA in each chromosome is constantly being read, folded ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...

Electron microscope (EM) has revolutionized our ability to visualize the intricate details inside cells. The advancement to 3D electron microscopy, known as volume EM (vEM), has further expanded this ...

Electron microscopy is a powerful technique that provides high-resolution images by focusing a beam of electrons to reveal fine structural details in biological and material specimens. 2 Because ...

Beam-sensitive zeolites are difficult to study at high resolution because traditional electron microscopy often damages or destroys their delicate crystal structures before meaningful data can be ...

In this episode of C&EN Uncovered, host Craig Bettenhausen speaks with C&EN senior editor Laurel Oldach about a laser phase plate, a device that boosts the contrast in electron microscopy using the ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase-contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...
