Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

Scientists mapped where drugs bind inside the body, cell by cell, to better understand benefits and side effects.

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

Another piece of the dementia puzzle may finally have been found. In A Nutshell Scientists discovered ultrathin tubes (hundreds of nanometers wide) connecting brain cells that transport proteins and ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...
