Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many ...

Contamination is one of the main roadblocks to successful cell culture. This article explores the different types of ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

By mapping the subcellular architecture and protein interactions within cells, researchers can better understand how mutations contribute to pediatric cancers and other conditions.

This important study analyzes the effect of heat treatment on phage-bacterial interactions and convincingly shows that prior heat exposure alters the bacterial cell envelope, enhancing persistence and ...

The Department of Biological Sciences treats the life sciences in all their breadth and diversity, including the study of molecules, cells, whole organisms, ecosystems, plants, animals and ...

Nevertheless, such observations are complex─they require delicate samples kept in the liquid phase, low electron dose, and proper cell viability verification methods. Despite being highly demanding, ...

Morphological observation assesses cell damage by directly examining changes in cell morphology under a microscope. If there are evident changes in the morphology of the cells following stimulation, ...

Studying the biological roles of polyphosphates in metazoans has been a longstanding challenge to the field given that the polyP synthase has yet to be discovered in metazoans. This important study ...

Dr. James Lim, associate professor of pediatrics at UBC’s faculty of medicine, observes pediatric cancer cells grown in a ...
