Before arriving at Janelia three years ago, Postdoctoral Scientist Antonio Fiore was designing and building optical instruments like microscopes and spectrometers. Fiore, a physicist by training, came ...

Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe, gives scientists an unprecedented look at the extracellular matrix -- the collection of organized molecular structures that fills the spaces between cells in our ...

Even after the intestinal inflammation subsides and the person feels healthy, the tissues may not fully return to their previous state. Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Technology have ...

Researchers found that acute intestinal inflammation leaves lasting changes in the extracellular matrix. It alters stem cell ...
