Fantastic Microscope Video of Modern Cell Biology

A very tiny red carpet is ready. The paparazzi are gathering as a daring experiment in communicating cell biology comes to the test—who will watch the three “Tell Your Own Cell Story” videos commissioned by Celldance Studios, a.k.a. the ASCB’s Public Information Committee (PIC)? Dubbed “microscopic blockbusters,” the three short videos will premiere online from the 2014 ASCB/IFCB meeting in Philadelphia on Monday, December 8.

Researchers Visualize Protein Interactions at Nanometer Spatial Resolution in Live Cells

Cells are restless. They move during embryogenesis, tissue repair, regeneration, chemotaxis. Even in disease, tumor metastasis, cells get around. To do this, they have to keep reorganizing their cytoskeleton, removing pieces from one end of a microtubule and adding them to the front, like a railroad with a limited supply of tracks. The EB family of proteins helps regulate this process and can act as a scaffold for other proteins involved in pushing the microtubule chain forward.
