Rewriting Life Massive Maps of the Brain Scientists combine two microscopy techniques to chart complex neural networks. by Veronique Greenwood 2011-03-18T00:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life Cells in Living Color The two upper panels of this video show different views of a cell while the lower left shows the presence of bubbles, called vesicles, within it. On the lower right, the thin petals can be see in cross-section as they form, ripple over the cell, and subside. Built from 40,000 images, this video provides scientists with an unprecedented amount of visual information. by Veronique Greenwood 2011-03-10T00:00:00-05:00
Rewriting Life Cells in Living Color: Filopodia Cellular projections called filopodia grow and contract on the surface of this cell, waving like tiny limbs or porcupine quills. by Veronique Greenwood 2011-03-10T00:00:00-05:00
Rewriting Life Cells in Living Color: Chromosomes Chromosomes in a cell line up next to each other and then slide apart as they are partitioned into two daughter cells. by Veronique Greenwood 2011-03-10T00:00:00-05:00
