Cancer cells that have broken away from a primary tumor can lurk in the body for years in a dormant state, evading immune ...
New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...
Dr. James Lim, associate professor of pediatrics at UBC’s faculty of medicine, observes pediatric cancer cells grown in a chicken egg under a microscope. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
Scientists at New York University have found that cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment—a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by researchers. The team’s ...
(a) A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the nanoneedle probe used for the measurements. (b) Elasticity map of a 1 µm × 1 µm area on the nuclear surface, showing the change in elasticity ...
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Applied Nano Materials a new method to precisely measure nuclear elasticity—the stiffness or softness ...
