A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

Conceptual illustration of the bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope, which detects both forward and backward scattered light from cells. This dual detection enables visualization of ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team from the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical Center—University of Freiburg has ...

Viruses have no metabolism of their own and must therefore infect host cells in order to replicate. Contact between the virus and the cell surface is a crucial first step, which can also prevent ...
