One method for visualizing dynamic biological processes is single particle tracking, a localization microscopy method. For this technique to be successful, several factors need to be considered, ...

Tunable red to green emissions in upconversion nanoparticles allow precise identification of single particles, enabling accurate, long-term multicolor tracking in complex live cell environments.

Dynein molecular motors have key roles in essential cellular processes, such as cargo transport and cilia motility. Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-based motor used in many eukaryotic cells for ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (mEVs) are promising drug carriers because they can survive the digestive tract, be engineered to avoid immune rejection, and deliver therapeutic cargo to the body.

NTA mainly uses the principle of scattering of light by a particle to locate it in real-time. The particle movements are tracked, and the size is measured using a high-speed video recording. 2 A laser ...

A study has captured, in real time and in three dimensions, how a single piece of biomass changes as it is heated into biochar, offering fresh clues for designing more effective carbon materials for ...
