Microscopes have long served as windows into the hidden world of cells, revealing their shape, activity, and chemistry. Yet watching life at this scale has always involved trade-offs. To capture the ...

Cryopreservation plays a crucial role in cell biology research, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing. Traditionally, DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) has been the cryoprotectant of choice for preserving cells ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

Osaka, Japan – Optical microscopy is a key technique for understanding dynamic biological processes in cells, but observing these high-speed cellular dynamics accurately, at high spatial resolution, ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell communications in living brain tissue from mice and humans. Findings from the new ...
