			Livecyte™ Cell Imaging and Analysis system adopted by the Translational Research Institute, Australia The Translational Research Institute (TRI), Brisbane has become the first centre in Australia and the Asia Pacific region to adopt the Livecyte™ Cell Imaging and Analysis system.

			New optical microscopy technique reveals dimerization of ‘toll-like receptors’ The surface of every cell contains receptors that react to external signals similar to a "gate". In this way, the cells of the innate immune system can differentiate between friend and foe partly through their "toll-like receptors" (TLRs).

	Applying AFM to study the viscoelastic properties of cells Cell mechanics was already of interest very early on to people who were using the AFM. The AFM was invented in 1986 and the first biological samples, both proteins and lipid molecules, were investigated around 1989 and the first time cells were investigated was around 1990.

	Scientists improve resolution of optical microscope using mirrored coverslip and computer algorithms Researchers from the National Institutes of Health and the University of Chicago improved the speed, resolution, and light efficiency of an optical microscope by switching from a conventional glass coverslip to a reflective, mirrored coverslip and applying new computer algorithms to process the resulting data.

	Olympus IXplore SpinSR10 imaging system enables researchers to observe fine details in live cells With resolving power that surpasses the limits of conventional optical microscopes, the Olympus IXplore SpinSR10 imaging system balances speed, resolution, and efficiency in a single, flexible platform.

	UCR researchers elucidate how blood clots shrink Blood clotting is the "Jekyll and Hyde" of biological processes. It's a lifesaver when you're bleeding, but gone awry, it causes heart attacks, strokes and other serious medical problems.
