RNA archiving method reveals what a cell did days ago
Source: Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories · Published
Information on what a cell did a few hours or days ago is generally unavailable to researchers, who can only measure the cell's current status. This is a problem if the aim is to understand how immune responses arise or why individual cancer cells survive treatment.
