Ultra-Microscope Sees Through Spinal Cord

Ultra-Microscope Sees Through Spinal Cord

Scientists from the Technical University in Vienna and the Max-Planck-Institute of Neurobiology in Munich have developed a new microscopy technique to analyze in detail nerve cells in the spinal cord. Nerve cells from the spinal cord are able to regenerate after being damaged. How this happens has not been easy to investigate: to see into the inner structure of spinal cord tissue it was necessary until now to cut samples into thin slices to be investigated separately.

Visualization of DNA-Synthesis In Vivo

Researchers of the University of Zurich have discovered a new substance for labelling and visualization of DNA synthesis in whole animals. Applications for this technique include identifying the sites of virus infections and cancer growth, due to the abundance of DNA replication in these tissues. This approach should therefore lead to new strategies in drug development. more

Imaging Motile Malaria Parasites

Cell motility is an essential process for most uni- and multi-cellular forms of life. The study of evolutionary ancient and thus divergent cells can yield interesting insights into our very basic understanding of molecular processes conferring cellular motility. The Plasmodium sporozoite represents a unique cell that migrates in vitro in near perfect circles due to its crescent shape. This allows the combination of high throughput imaging with reverse genetics to dissect how these cells move. more

Synchrotron X-rays from a Tabletop - Highly Energetic, Bright and Spatially Coherent

Since their discovery in 1896 [1], x-rays have fundamentally revolutionized science, medicine and technology. Each successive generation of x-ray machines has opened up new frontiers in science, such as the first radiographs and the determination of the structure of DNA. State-of-the-art x-ray sources, such as synchrotrons, can now produce coherent high-brightness beams of x-rays with energies greater than kiloelectronvolt, which promise a new revolution in imaging complex systems on the nanometer and femtosecond scale. more
