There has been collaboration formed between the United Kingdom’s national synchrotron, Diamond, and The Pirbright Institute which does prediction, detections, understanding, as well as, responds to the risks and potential attack of severe viral diseases and viruses that transfer from animals to humans. The collaboration agreement will carry on for five years.

A University of Maryland-led team of researchers has developed an optical microscopy technique capable of shedding new light on how the mechanical properties of cells change in the course of aging, injury healing and disease pathogenesis. The technique offers promise that one day researchers will be able to identify a more exact starting point for the development of cancers, coronary disease or…

Far-red DNA Stain For Live-cell Nanoscopy

One of the holy grails of bio-imaging is to visualize the inner workings of a cell while it is still alive. But this also means that living cells put under the microscope risk being killed by the light and the fluorescent dyes used to highlight their structures. Much like being sunburnt, live cells are sensitive to intense light – and the most dangerous are the ultraviolet and blue lights used in…
