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.
(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 ...
