Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...

and Harvard Medical School used super high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images of mouse brain tissue generated for creating connectomes to get the best look yet at primary cilia. Their ...

Cilia are important for regulating cellular ... Collectively called volume electron microscopy, or volume EM, these methods use electron microscopes to image thin layers of a specimen and then ...

Then, to figure out how glia respond to normal and cilia-stunted nematodes, they employed RNA sequencing to monitor gene expression changes and electron microscopy to observe structural changes.
