Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by André Nadler at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Understanding cell structure and function As imaging methods and workflows improve, researchers will be able to tackle some key questions in cell biology with different strategies.

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...
