microtubules, neurofilaments and actin. Classical methods (electron microscopy and biochemistry) have been critical in identifying the morphology and composition of axonal cytostructures.

The first is its application to high throughput super resolution microscopy. The high temporal resolution afforded by ANNA-PALM means that you can practically image many more cells in a single day. By ...

When fluorescent tags are added to cytoskeletal polymers such as microtubules, a line of fluorescence and even non-linear structures results. While much progress has been made in techniques for ...

A STED (stimulated emission/depletion) micrograph image revealing actin (magenta) and microtubules (cyan) of a young dissociated hippocampal neuron ... Photoactivated localization microscopy (PALM) ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) represents a better choice compared to light-based microscopy methods for the stufy of microtubules. For instance, the AFM can be used in buffers to image samples at a ...

A group of Japanese researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to shed light on how a certain protein keeps microtubules stable, and regulates microtubule-based transport within cells.

These processes were visualized using state-of-the-art cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Microtubules, filamentous structures within the cell, are required for many important processes ...

Microtubules help to regulate cell structure throughout our bodies. A group of researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to shed light on how a certain protein keeps microtubules stable ...

Microtubules help to regulate cell structure throughout our bodies. Using cryo-electron microscopy, light has been shed on how a certain protein keeps microtubules stable, and regulates ...

With a fluorescent microscope, an investigator is now better able to study individual cells and image subcellular entities, such as organelles, proteins, microtubules, and chromosomes. Owing to ...

Now researchers have shown that microtubules can also function as a kind of mechanosensor that can pick up on the state of the cell and adjust transport in the cell accordingly. In this study, the ...
