The researchers identified the structure of this machine, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), and 50 years since its discovery, have shown how it operates like the lock on a canal to transport ...

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a ...

Fifty years since its discovery, scientists have finally worked out how a molecular machine found in mitochondria allows us ...

each far thinner than a human hair. With electron microscopes, they took nearly 100 million high-resolution images of those sections, illuminating those spaghetti-like fibres and painstakingly ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of ...

Next, scientists at the Allen Institute analyzed that small piece of brain tissue, using a special tool to shave it into more than 25,000 layers, each far thinner than a human hair. With electron ...

While there are plenty of amazing and unique experiences, life in space comes with other little challenges, too — try getting your hair to stay flat without gravity or wearing the same outfit ...

Later, the team extracted the mouse's brain and examined its anatomical features, such as cell shapes and connections, from the same lobe using an electron microscope. Next, using the anatomical ...
