Exploration of cardiac function requires technologically demanding experiments on isolated living cells. However, even the most advanced technologies do not allow direct measurements of unique intracellular events. This is partialy due to insufficient spatial and temporal resolution but also due to the impossibility to experimentaly manipulate the finest cellular structures. This category of “impossible” experiments…

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT: Cryo soft X-ray tomography (SXT) of whole hydrated cells…
Sudden loss of smell and/or taste is one of the main symptoms of COVID-19. In most cases, the sense of smell treats itself spontaneously, but in the case of some patients, its disorders may persist for weeks to months. Therefore, from the initiative of scientists from the Slovak Academy of Sciences, a project called Smell and…
