New microscopes reveal live, developing cells in unprecedented 3-D clarity

Posted: 25 Oct 2013 09:30 AM PDT

Researchers have developed two new microscopes, both the first of their kind. The first captures small, fast moving organisms at an unprecedented rate and the second displays large cell samples in three dimensions while decreasing the amount of harmful light exposure to the cells. Both microscopes surpass in clarity any other currently on the market.

Social service barriers delay care among women with abnormal cancer screening

Posted: 25 Oct 2013 08:39 AM PDT

Green algae move to the beat: Flagellar synchronization of swimming algae explained

Posted: 25 Oct 2013 08:38 AM PDT

Researchers explain the flagellar synchronization of swimming algae. The beating of flagella is one of the basic principles of movement in the cellular cosmos. However, up to now, scientists were unsure as to how the movements of several of these small cellular appendages are synchronized.

A cost-effective way toward personalized cancer drugs

Posted: 25 Oct 2013 07:22 AM PDT

Before a cancer patient embarks on a course of treatment, tests can be carried out to establish whether or not the chosen cytostatic agent combination is likely to be effective. But the time-consuming and expensive nature of traditional testing methods is prohibiting their widespread use. Researchers have developed a cost-effective, automated system that allows doctors to determine which medications will prove most benefit for each patient.
