The authors study how apolipoprotein L1 variants impact inflammation and lipid accumulation in macrophages. The findings will be useful for researchers investigating macrophage metabolism and ...

Key points Glia is the Greek term for glue. Glial cells play a crucial role in supporting neurological and anatomical structures. Brain regeneration and overall brain function involve glial cells ...

 Microglial cells, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), regulate inflammatory responses by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines -- chemical signaling molecules.

Making your own microscope slides can be fun and easy with these simple-to-follow tips — including dry and wet mounting, plus crafty alternatives.

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed a new microscope that significantly improves how bioluminescent signals in living cells can be observed. The ...

Vigil aims to treat Alzheimer’s with a drug that improves the function of microglia, a type of immune cell of the central nervous system that scouts for and eliminates things like disease ...

The researchers succeeded in specifically labeling the cells derived from bone marrow with a fluorescent dye. "This makes them distinguishable from microglia under a microscope," Mass elaborates.

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells.

A novel hybrid microscope developed at the Marine Biological Laboratory enables simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules, such as proteins, within cells.

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of ...
