Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness ...

For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments can peer deep into living cells, helping researchers study diseases such ...

A team at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a versatile nanorobot with propulsion and payload modules. The two reusable modules autonomously self-assemble and could be used in ...

There is a constant war going on in your body. Working against you are viruses and cancer cells growing uncontrollably, threatening your tissues and organs. Fighting on your side are immune cells such ...

Leonie Schön's Lamellipodium Art blends medicine and art, turning microscopic images of cells and tissues into striking ...

Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain how colorectal cancer becomes deadly. When levels of a ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...
