However, thanks to the state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopes, the researchers have now been able to gain new insights into the interaction between Vipp1 and the cell membrane. They discovered ...

Scientists in Basel revealed that energy-producing proteins in mitochondria form large supercomplexes, boosting ATP ...

So, if the cell membrane were a lipid ... (Sadava 1993). When the use of electron microscopy started to allow examination of the plasma membrane at high resolution, people noticed that the ...

Pores in the Cell Membrane Molecules and ions pass in and out of the cell through tiny openings in the cell wall. Although the holes are too small to be seen with an electron microscope, their ...

Light and electron ... cell division, the researchers observed increased mechanical stiffening of the cell division site. The researchers hypothesize this stiffening could be due to localized ...

There are three types of pathways: Caveolae are small invaginations of the cell's plasma membrane. Under the electron microscope, caveolae look to be flask-shape pits about 50-80 nm across.

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

One of the team's latest advances is a method called ultrastructural membrane expansion microscopy ... much like how an electron microscope uses osmium tetroxide to label membranes to visualize ...

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope, and on the right with the transmission electron ... Cell membrane Allows gases and water ...

like these HIV particles budding on the surface of a T cell. Now a new type of electron microscope, a tunnelling electron microscope, has even made it possible to see the arrangement of atoms.

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the ...
