Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using ...

For the first time, scientists using cryo-electron microscopy have discovered the structure and shape of key receptors ...

Using a technique called 3D electron microscopy, the authors determined that α2δ-1 was also required for proper synapse structure. Risher et al. further observed that α2δ-1 is able to promote synapse ...

Electron microscope image of synapse in the cerebellum. This slice through the cerebellum cells shows the synapse between an inhibitory neuron (red) and a Purkinje cell (yellow). There, the tiny ...

To measure synapse strength, a collaboration was formed with another team of scientists from the Electron Microscopy Core Facility at MPFI, led by Naomi Kamasawa, Ph.D. "Electron microscopy ...

Courtesy of Michael Dustin PASS IT ON: A T cell (blue) interacts with a dendritic cell (yellow) through a molecular pattern described as an immunological synapse (red = adhesion, green = foreign ...

Using the new technique, the researchers used the multicolor electron microscope to visualize a pair of brain cells sharing a single synapse. The team also demonstrated how peptides (short chains ...

Synapse is using the Phenom benchtop scanning electron microscope (SEM) for this purpose. With the help of sophisticated software, the microscope expedites blood sample analysis from three days to ...

Because electron detectors work this way, the end product of an electron microscope is data that's visually mapped in grayscale. It can be difficult to make out important features from a monocolor ...

Using a technique called 3D electron microscopy, the authors determined that calcium channel α2δ-1 subunit promotes proper synapse development and structure.
