"Cell Programming: A Gateway to Innovative Treatments"

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have developed a tool that allows them to program molecules to move around a cell to specific locations over time, essentially organizing and orchestrating cellular activities. By engineering interactions between specific proteins, they have created highly specified patterns to induce cellular behaviors and functions, offering potential for new treatments and the study of cellular activity in living organisms. This innovative tool has multiple potential uses for scientists interested in engineering specific cellular activities or studying cellular activity in a living organism.

Revolutionizing Microscopy: Ångström-Resolution with Tag Cocktails.

Scientists have developed an optical-microscopy technique that can distinguish between tiny objects that are less than one nanometre apart, equivalent to a separation of just several atoms, by using a mixture of tags to label copies of target molecules in a sample. The technique could lead to biologists probing the organization of complex arrangements of the molecules of life in greater detail than before, in the native environment of the cell.
