Within the nucleus, the nucleolus and a stainable substance could be seen. Moreover, a number of structures (ribbons, bands and threads) appeared during cell division.

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Scientists were able to 3D-print different microstructures inside live cells, including a delightfully tiny micro-elephant. The team also printed barcodes and tiny lasers that could both be used to ...
