Autophagy is fundamental to the function ... the researchers used a method called FIB-SEM (Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy). By combining the information gathered from these two ...

This video shows what Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy image looks like as the process is performed. The combined power of the methods enabled researchers to show how the first structure ...

scientists could only study autophagy by examining cells with electron microscopes. Using this tool, they established that after autophagosomes form, they fuse to the lysosomal membrane to form a ...

To study autophagy, researchers apply a number of methods such as electron and fluorescence microscopy, western blotting to track the processing of certain marker proteins, and flow cytometry ...

Autophagy is the major intracellular degradation ... long-lived protein degradation, and electron microscopy are provided in the Supplementary Appendix. Yeast strains were grown at 28°C in ...

An electron microscope image of a mammalian cell with organelles depicted. In autophagy, some elements of a cell are degraded and recycled to generate nutrients and energy to sustain and preserve ...

Other scientists have used electron microscopy and western blot methods to try to identify the special cell structures involved in autophagy. According to a 2015 article published in Nature ...

Thanks to the advanced cryo-electron microscope in Umeå ... the cell that resembled an otherwise normal process in the cell, autophagy. Autophagy is a relatively recently discovered process ...
