Advanced microscopy reveals how ribosomes attach to mRNA for protein synthesis

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called mRNA. Then, another molecule called a ribosome reads the mRNA, translating it into protein. But this…

Innovative tissue expansion technique transforms conventional microscopy capabilities

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an alternative, MIT researchers have developed a way to expand tissue before imaging it -; a technique…
