RNA granules, sites for the storage, transport, and regulation of RNA molecules within cells, are transported along axons and then translated locally, far from the cell body. Recent studies suggest that these granules can ...
Researchers have been using organoids—3D organ-like, tightly-packed cell cultures—as models to study organ development, disease and drug discovery with excellent success. However, most existing imaging methods are limited ...
