Story
Light-based technique creates artificial structures that mimic the scaffolding of cells
Key takeaway
Researchers developed a laser-based system that can create artificial structures resembling the scaffolding inside cells. This advance could help scientists better study how proteins interact with cellular structures.
Quick Explainer
Researchers have developed a laser-based system that can create artificial mesh-like structures resembling cellular cytoskeletons, which they used to study how two proteins interact with these artificial scaffolding structures.
