Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

These fibers can be found in every tissue in the human body, underlying every organ’s function and dysfunction.

Genoa (Italy), July 24, 2025 – Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered ...

Cell mass and chemical composition are important aggregate cellular properties that are especially relevant to physiological processes, such as growth control and tissue homeostasis. Despite their ...

Indian American researcher’s new AI-enhanced scanning method promises to boost quest for high-resolution mapping of the brain ...

Using machine learning to guide microscopes could reveal greater insights into the brain's connectome and deepen our ...

Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering Yi Xue works on 2P-FOCUS, a new two-photon microscopy system, in her lab. The system promises novel insights into biological features that were once only ...

The key to understanding the drivers of physical and neurological disease lies in part with understanding the microscopic fiber networks found in human tissue. A new study reveals a promising new ...

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are everywhere—from the air we breathe to the food we eat—but their impact on human health is not entirely clear. While cell culture and animal studies hint at potential ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to study this moment in humans because of ethical restrictions and limited access to ...
