Research team at the University of Göttingen develops method for recognizing cell properties
Can you tell whether an avocado is hard or soft by looking at it? You would have to recognize how the plant cells behave behind the skin. The same applies to all other cells on our planet: Despite more than 100 years of intensive research, many of their properties remain hidden inside the cell. Researchers at the University of Göttingen have now described a new approach in the scientific journal Nature Materials that can determine the particularly difficult-to-detect mechanical properties of the cell interior by taking a closer look. ...
