GFP: A Valuable Tool that Resulted From Combining Fascination, Beauty and Science Together
SEEING IS BELIEVING: FLUORESCENCE
Fluorescence generates vibrant colors that allows us to tell one cell from another, and even one biomolecule from another. This has led to great advances in our understanding of immunology by allowing us a peek into biological interactions at the cellular level.
KEEP CALM AND METHYLATE ON
When cells are exposed to acute stresses they react with a series of molecular events collectively termed the 'cellular stress response.' Scientists in the Jaffrey group have revealed a novel method to fine-tuning the specific production of stress response proteins in a process they call m6A cap-independent translation.
