Its structure, as revealed by the electron microscope, mirrors its function It is the mitochondrion, a small body which appears to play a central role in the oxidation of foodstuff.

When they are broken down inside our cells ... conditions. Electron microscopy allows us to visualize exactly how these drugs bind inside the carrier to jam it—a spanner in the works, you could say.

This is a false color scanning electron micrograph of a T cell (green) on an array of clusters of T cell receptor ligands (not visible) bound to gold-palladium nanoparticles (gold, there are seven ...

The global effort to combat climate change requires expanding renewable energy technologies. To optimise solar cells, ...

or to analyze electron microscopy images of volcanic rocks. "Analyzing cells or other structures is one of the most ...

The limit of resolution of the transmission electron microscope is now less than 1 nm. The TEM has revealed structures in cells that are not visible with the light microscope.

The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...
