Scientists filmed cell growth in real time on video

A group of biological scientists from Duke University are studying cells and what happens inside them.

Oddly enough, they managed to surprise the public by presenting a video showing the process of building some nanoscale structures inside cells in action. Discuss

The material was filmed by them, using the latest real-time visualization methods for this. As part of their latest study, the researchers looked inside the cells of a developing fruit fly.

To do this, they needed the "help" of technology.ultra-high resolution fluorescence microscopy. With its help, scientists filmed how a cell grows, under the surface of which there is a thin network of protein fibers, each of which is 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.

It is reported that such observations can help in a better understanding of the processes of wound healing in humans and how abnormalities develop in children with birth defects.
