The millions of cellular machines called ribosomes, which translate the genetic code carried by DNA into proteins, have long been thought to all be identical.
Using techniques pioneered at Weill Cornell Medicine, scientists have captured the first video recordings of a key protein whose function is essential to a deadly foodborne bacteria.
New imaging methods that allow researchers to track the individual protein molecules on the surface of cells have been developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The results offer unprecedented insight into how cells sense and respond to their environments.
