An advance that combines two techniques so that you can see molecular detail while maintaining context.
“They can be tuned to be sensitive to pH, calcium – you name it,” said Dahlberg. “There are hundreds of environmental variables they can be tuned to. So, on top of the specific location and high-resolution structural information, you can also know was my cell healthy or sick? About to undergo cell division? At a high ATP concentration? It provides all this extra content.”
Since there are theories about ME involving ATP abnormalities, cell membrane abnormalities, etc, this sort of advance has the potential to actual test those theories.
