Researchers Develop Light-Based 'Remote Control' For Proteins Inside Cells

Scientists at Stanford University have developed an intracellular remote control: a simple way to activate and track proteins, the busiest of cellular machines, using beams of light. The new method, described in a paper to be published in Science, will let researchers shine light on a specific cell region to quickly activate a protein in that area, producing an unusually fine-grained view of the location and timing of protein activity... via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
