Scientists release image of light-induced Aurora A clustering
Original: Light-induced clustering of Aurora A (IMAGE)
A new image released via EurekAlert! shows light-induced clustering of Aurora A, a protein kinase that plays a key role in cell division. Optogenetic approaches like this allow researchers to control protein behaviour with light, helping to clarify how Aurora A regulates mitosis and what happens when its activity goes wrong, a process often linked to cancer research.
Why now: New visual evidence of a technique that lets researchers manipulate a cancer-relevant protein with light is of interest to the biology community
