NanoNerds | Podcast: QSTORM - Looking Inside Nerve Cells @NanoNerds | Uploaded September 2012 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
8/24/2012 - Our nerve cells contain thread-like molecular-scale transport systems that ferry essential materials from cell bodies to the tips of their axons (where neurotransmitters are released) and back. Diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinson's seem to be associated with traffic jams on these sub cellular highways. Hear how Carnegie Mellon researcher Ge Yang and the QSTORM biological imaging team are working to achieve super-resolution views of traffic flow beyond the traditional limits of microscopy.
