Biophysicists reveal secret language of bones

10-Dec-2020 - Our bones have so-called mechanosensors that react to pressure and communicate with each other. “These sensors enable that bone is formed where it is mechanically necessary and broken down elsewhere," says Richard Weinkamer from the Biomaterials Department. In their research they have come a ...

Blinking neurons give thoughts away

07-May-2010 - Electrical currents are invisible to the naked eye – at least they are when they flow through metal cables. In nerve cells, however, scientists are able to make electrical signals visible. Working with fellow experts from Switzerland and Japan, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Medical ...

3-D imaging inside living organism, using quantum dots at the Cornell University

useful for tracking cells and visualizing tissue deep within living animals

30-May-2003 - Tiny blood vessels, viewed beneath a mouse's skin with a newly developed application of multiphoton microscopy, appear so bright and vivid in high-resolution images that researchers can see the vessel walls ripple with each heartbeat -- 640 times a minute. The capillaries are illuminated in ...
