The inner life of cells

Ralph Lange used a confocal microscope to capture this image of bovine endothelial cells which are about 100 µm wide. Although this was just a practice exercise with dead cells, Lange’s postdoc work at Stanford University has to do with making polymer materials that can sneak RNA into cells while they’re still alive. By using a variety of stains and a microscope, Lange and coworkers can track whether the RNA has entered certain cells in real time. The fluorescent... Читать дальше...
