No modern laboratory is complete without at least one basic microscope, an essential tool for biologists in medical research. Transmitted light methods have largely been replaced by fluorescent ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

Scientists have long used fluorescent dyes—which emit light—to research cell structures and activities. By attaching fluorescent molecules to a protein, for example, scientists can take images of it ...

King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to form through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of researchers headed by MIT engineers has now developed a ...
