Our results reveal a fascinating choreography inside the hair follicle," said paper author professor Inês Sequeira.

Scientists have found that human hair growth does not grow by being pushed out of the root; it's actually pulled upward by a ...

For decades, biology textbooks have taught that human hair grows because new cells in the hair root divide and push older ...

Time-lapse fluorescence microscopy video showing vesicle formation (images were taken every 2 minutes for 4 hours). Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...

Researchers have captured time-lapse videos of stem cells dividing in growing plant roots. By watching how the cells divide in response to certain chemical signals over time, the team is uncovering ...

Time-lapse microscopy is a powerful tool for monitoring phenotypic change, be it cell division, neurite outgrowth, cell migration, or apoptosis. The level of detail and spatio-temporal context this ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing ...

Some time before 1668, Antony van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses and make simple microscopes. Scientists have been looking through different versions of this imaging system ever since. There’s ...

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to ...
