Neuroblastoma cancer cells before (left) and after (right) chemotherapy. The black threads are the cell's internal scaffolding, which breaks apart during treatment. This damage should kill the cell, ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Cancer imaging is entering a phase where malignant cells no longer hide in murky grayscale but flare into view with surgical precision. Across operating rooms, scanners, and even blood tests, ...

(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...

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 ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...
