Scientists use light to correct faulty cell division
Original: LISA to the rescue: Using light to fix cell division
Researchers have introduced LISA, a light-based technique that can intervene in cell division when the process goes wrong, using light to control the machinery that separates chromosomes. Errors in cell division are linked to cancer and developmental problems, so an optical method that can correct or study the process in real time is drawing attention from biologists and medical researchers.
Why now: A new light-based method for controlling cell division is relevant to cancer research and cell biology
