Watching the production of new proteins in live cells

Researchers at Columbia University, in collaboration with biologists in Baylor College of Medicine, have made a significant step in understanding and imaging protein synthesis, pinpointing exactly where and when cells produce new proteins. Assistant professor Wei Min’s team developed a new technique to produce high-resolution imaging of newly synthesized proteins inside living cells.
