The global diagnostics market is experiencing robust growth, driven by an increasing burden of chronic diseases (74% of all ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and transition onto microtubule tracks inside living cells. This new ...

Bridging basic science and application, this postdoc develops living technologies for health and sustainability.

FLIM principles. Schematic overview of fluorescence lifetime data acquisition and analysis in time−domain (td) and frequency−domain (fd) modes. In tdFLIM, photon arrival times are recorded after each ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

The brain is the most energy-demanding organ in the body, in part due to its complexity. Its components are varied and intricate: comprising different cell types, including neurons designed to ...
