Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before ...

An international research team has gained new insights into the dynamics of myelin swellings in the brain. Myelin swellings ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a single-step technique for ...

Acoustic microscopy and impedance analysis have emerged as pivotal tools in the non‐invasive investigation of biological tissues. By utilising high-frequency sound waves, these techniques deliver ...

Freshly dissected tissue (lower left) and its pathology-prepared slide with identified tumor regions by a pathologist (upper left), and a pseudo-color image of hyperspectral dark-field microscopy ...

The researchers demonstrated the utility of their technique on a slice of a mouse brain, 200 microns (0.2 millimeters) in thickness. First, they made their tissue sample see-through using a tweaked ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu Scientists are detecting nanoplastics in human brain tissue and exploring how these particles may influence the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, but major questions about ...

New research shows early Multiple Sclerosis brain damage is dynamic and reversible. Myelin swellings can shrink and disappear ...

Meningioma is the most common type of brain tumor. It does not develop in the brain tissue itself, but on the inside of the ...

Research indicates that uniform materials could be the culprit of deadly infections that can occur when using synthetic materials for cardiovascular grafts.
