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 ...

A high-pressure method of instantaneously freezing cells has proven to be effective in the first empirical validation of its kind. Through further development, the method holds promise in finding ...

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, ...

Bismuth-doped gallium nanoparticles transform into cell-puncturing spikes under freezing, killing drug-resistant lung, ...

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 ...

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 ...
