The confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) has become a vital instrument for the
examination of subcellular structure, especially in fluorescently stained cells. Because of its …

The ability to visualize cell motility occurring deep in the context of opaque tissues will allow
many currently intractable issues in developmental biology and organogenesis to be …

In this study we have examined for molecular heterogeneity of cell-matrix adhesions and the
involvement of actomyosin contractility in the selective recruitment of different plaque …

The fluorescence microscope is routinely used to study cellular structure in many biomedical
research laboratories and is increasingly used as a quantitative assay system for cellular …

Calcium can activate mitochondrial metabolism, and the possibility that mitochondrial Ca2+
uptake and extrusion modulate free cytosolic [Ca2+](Cac) now has renewed interest. We …

Written by more than 400 subject experts representing diverse academic and applied
domains, this multidisciplinary resource surveys the vanguard of biomaterials and …

A confocal microscope creates sharp images of a specimen that would otherwise appear
blurred when viewed with a conventional microscope. This is achieved by excluding most of …

We have analyzed the progressive changes in the spatial distribution of telomeres during
meiosis using three-dimensional, high resolution fluorescence microscopy. Fixed meiotic …

Specific interactions of chromatin with the nuclear envelope (NE) in early embryos of
Drosophila melanogaster have been mapped and analyzed. Using fluorescence in situ …

To study the dynamics of elastic fiber assembly, mammalian cells were transfected with a
cDNA construct encoding bovine tropoelastin in frame with the Timer reporter. Timer is a …
