Light-based technique creates artificial structures that mimic the scaffolding of cells

A laser-based system that can create mesh-like structures in a dish that resemble the cytoskeletons of cells has been developed by two RIKEN researchers. They demonstrated its usefulness for research by exploring how two proteins interacted with artificial cytoskeletons. The results are published in...
