Scientists use light tool LISA to fix cell division
Original: LISA to the rescue: Using light to fix cell division
Researchers have introduced LISA, a light-based technique that can correct errors in cell division. By using light to control the process, the method could help address problems that lead to chromosome mis-segregation, a factor in cancer and developmental disorders. The work is drawing attention as an example of optogenetics being applied to fix fundamental cellular mechanisms.
Why now: New research showing light can be used to correct cell division errors is of wide interest in biology and medicine.
