and Harvard Medical School used super high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images of mouse brain tissue generated for creating connectomes to get the best look yet at primary cilia. Their ...

Over months, she and her collaborators optimized a protocol for peeling away the entire cell membrane to see the cytoskeletal components of the cilia. Then they applied this method to donated human ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

Glia (light green) respond to the loss of dendrite cilia (dark pink) by accumulating excess extracellular matrix (dark green). Neurons may get all the ...

Then, to figure out how glia respond to normal and cilia-stunted nematodes, they employed RNA sequencing to monitor gene expression changes and electron microscopy to observe structural changes.

By reexamining 3D images used to map the connections between brain cells, researchers are uncovering new information about a small, elusive, and often overlooked cellular appendage.

Then, to figure out how glia respond to normal and cilia-stunted nematodes, they employed RNA sequencing to monitor gene expression changes and electron microscopy to observe structural changes.

Cilia are important for regulating cellular ... Collectively called volume electron microscopy, or volume EM, these methods use electron microscopes to image thin layers of a specimen and then ...
