Unfolded Proteins May Protect Cells from Dying

...d the unfolded protein response is activated. Ryoo rigged xbp1 with a fluorescent marker that would light up whenever this alternatively spliced version of xbp1 was made, allowing him to detect every time the cell initiated an unfolded protein response. 'Our work shows that the unfolded protein response ...

MRI-safe Motor Makes Robotic Biopsies Possible

...ly by observing the images on the MR. The motor is rigged with fiber optics, which feeds information back to the computer in real time, allowing for both guidance and readjustment. "The robot moves slowly but precisely, and our experiments show that the needle always comes within a millimeter of the targ...
