Researchers have discovered a strategy to neutralize two highly lethal viruses for which there is currently no approved vaccine or cure.

Advanced light microscopy techniques are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in ...

CryoEM: Highly magnified images (30,000- 50,000X) of frozen-hydrated viruses are obtained in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The cryoEM technique requires that a very thin sample of purified ...

Some T4 viruses can even enter certain cell types, suggesting potential use as internal calibration standards - though this application needs further development. The implications extend beyond ...

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) allows us to observe samples in a preserved state that is close to their ...

Electron microscopes have existed since the 1930s, and they’ve played a vital role in revealing the structure of proteins and viruses and how they work.

July 8, 2014— -- Vials of the virus that causes smallpox were found in a National Institutes of Health research building that was unequipped and unapproved to handle the deadly pathogen ...
