Advanced light microscopy techniques have come into their own — and are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in disease ...

The Natural History Museum microbiology collection includes extant protozoan protists. The microbiology collection of extant protozoan protists comprises mainly microscope slides but also small ...

While necrotic cell death is attracting considerable interest, its molecular bases are still poorly understood. Investigations in simple biological models, taken for instance outside the animal ...

Under light microscope observation, Kirby (1944) ... Genome of an endosymbiont coupling N2 fixation to cellulolysis within protist cells in termite gut. Science 322: 1108–1109.

Using sheets of light to scan cells, a new microscope can capture real-time 3D videos of what's happening inside cells down to the molecular level—feat once thought impossible.. The inventors of ...

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer ...

Scientists used single-cell genomics to show that two groups of poorly known marine protists routinely ingest viruses. They hypothesize that this serves to absorb phosphorus and nitrogen - that is ...
