A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed across cell membranes in three dimensions and at nanometer-scale precision.
Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment. However, evidence has recently emerged suggesting that these membranes do ...
Researchers used cryo-expansion microscopy to map the immune synapse in near-native conditions, uncovering structural ...
