However, thanks to the state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopes, the researchers have now been able to gain new insights into the interaction between Vipp1 and the cell membrane. They discovered ...

So, if the cell membrane were a lipid ... Under the view of the electron microscope, the outsides of the lipid bilayer show up as two darker layers, whereas the hydrophobic interior stains ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope ... as photosynthesis and respiration. Cell membrane Allows gases and water to diffuse ...

Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) has been awarded a £500,000 grant from the Wolfson Foundation to acquire an ultrafast spinning disc confocal microscope, enhancing research into ...
