Nikon Imaging Centre at King’s College London established as the Nikon super resolution microscopy centre for Europe
Bio-imaging is a powerful tool in biological research, providing valuable spatial, quantitative and dynamic information on biological molecules. This information enables researchers to investigate the structure, functions and mechanics of a wide range of biological...
Tissues behave like giant cells
During our every day life, many of our tissues are subjected to large deformations. LCN scientists have now uncovered how stresses are dissipated in living tissues to prevent their rupture. The research, published in Nature Physics, provides us with a better...
Filming how our immune system kills bacteria
To kill bacteria in the blood, our immune system relies on nanomachines that can open deadly holes in their targets. LCN scientists have now filmed these nanomachines in action, discovering a key bottleneck in the process which helps to protect our own cells. The...
