New method reveals cell development
[PRESS RELEASE 2018-08-08] Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Harvard Medical School report in the journal Nature that they have developed a technique for capturing dynamic processes in individual cells. Apart from studying disease processes, the method can be used to observe in detail how specialised cells are formed during embryonic development.The body is composed of specialised cells that give each organ its unique function. The brain, for instance, is made up of hundreds of different kinds of neurons, while the kidneys have specialised cells for filtering blood and the heart
