Arrangement of Cell Membrane Molecules Determined Using Nanoscale Tape Measure

The surface of a cell plays a central role in its communication. Up to now, it was questioned whether its molecules arise in an ordered way on the nanoscale and whether this implies specific functions. Thanks to a new technique, researchers from the University of Freiburg and Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics were able to detect surface structures and their changes far below the resolution limit of light.
