Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web ...

The human body has always been crowded with microscopic passengers, from bacteria to viruses and fungi. Over the past two ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...

A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...
