3D Exploration of Living Cells at Coventry University
The Lab+ at the University of Conventry uses the 3D Cell Explorer for teaching undergrad cell biology students. The lab allows students to connect together different concepts and different parts of practicals in order to hopefully give them a real passion for science...
New Application Note: Investigating multiple drug-induced perturbations with Nanolive’s Automated live cell imaging
We are happy to present you our newest application note. In this application note we will discuss the new research possibilities offered by Nanolive's newest microscope, the CX-A, for the study of drug-induced perturbations. In detail, you can: Learn how Nanolive’s...
PFA fixation test: the effects on live cell imaging
In life sciences, fixation refers to the process of preservation of histological, cytological and microbiological specimens such as cells and tissues at the status they were originally taken. A protocol of fixation usually precedes immunostaining, which is essential...
New publication: E-cigarette use increases susceptibility to bacterial infection by impairment of human neutrophil chemotaxis, phagocytosis and NET formation
Nanolive is proud to announce a new publication in the American Journal of Physiology – Cell Physiology by our customers at the University of California San Diego in the United States[1]. E-cigarettes are a popular alternative to conventional tobacco, usually sold as...
Nanolive attending SPAOM 2019: the Spanish & Portuguese Advanced Optical Microscopy from 6 – 8 November
From the 6 - 8 November we will be attending the SPAOM 2019 in Coimbra, Portugal, where we will be presenting our poster "Phototoxicity in live cell imaging: the evil within".To learn more about how to overcome phototoxicity, please visit our dedicated page here. We...
Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles uptake in mouse macrophages
Tumor-associated macrophages secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) that range from a variety of sizes and subcellular origins[1]–[5]. Exosomes (30-150nm) are a type of EVs originated from endosomal multivesicular bodies[4], [6]. Other types of EVs result from the...

Win a bottle of Champagne with Nanolive’s new phototoxicity challenge
Call to all microscopists! Nanolive has had a number of scientific discussions recently on whether fluorescence based live cell imaging observations on cell/organelle dynamics and morphology can lead to incorrect conclusions if phototoxicity is not controlled for....
Migration in CD34+ Human Cord Blood Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells
Role of migration in Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC), as we mentioned in our previous post featuring mitosis in CD34+ Human Cord Blood HSC (https://vkv7flpfqbb.c.updraftclone.com/cd34-mitosis/), are multipotent cells that can...
Nobel Prize goes to William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza “for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability”
Nanolive wants to congratulate the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine which was assigned today to William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe and Gregg L. Semenza for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability. Their research...
Division in CD34+ Human Cord Blood Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells
Hematopoietic Stem/Progenitor Cells Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) are cells isolated primarily from bone marrow and umbilical cord blood. They can self-renew and differentiate into many different types of blood cells [1] (Figure 1). These characteristics raised the...
