3D images reveal how bacterial cells coordinate protein production and transport across the membrane
Key Points
Scientists have often thought of cells as small, bustling cities with parts that resemble factories, power grids and shipping systems. While past research has illuminated the individual components of these cell cities, scientists haven't had the tools to probe more deeply into how those elements interact.
