Microscopy: And then there was light
Standfirst
Stimulated emission microscopy extends biological imaging beyond fluorophores by allowing three-dimensional optical imaging of non-fluorescent molecules.
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 10, 814 (2009)doi:10.1038/nrm2808
Neurogenesis: A mother–daughter relationship
Standfirst
Asymmetrical inheritance of centrosome components is crucial to maintain a pool of self-renewing radial glia in the ventricular zone, which differentiate into neurons or intermediate progenitors during neuronal development.
Nature Reviews Neuroscience 10, 833 (2009)doi:10.1038/nrn2767
Tumour microenvironment: External influences
Standfirst
PTEN expression in stromal cells suppresses mammary epithelial tumours by altering expression of genes linked to extracellular matrix remodelling, wound healing and chronic inflammation.
