The push-pull of cells

from Conversations with scientists Hosted by Vivien Marx

Cells push things around and get pushed around, it's all in a day's work. Tracking this, such as by tracking actin and the cytoskeleton, takes microscopy and labels. Lifeact, for example, is a popular, widely used label. This conversation is with the Lifeact developers Dr. Michael Sixt from Institute of Science and Technology Austria and Dr. Roland Wedlich-Söldner from the University of Münster in Germany. Among other topics, they talk about how the label came to be, how to use it, what's next and whether or not cells practice bodyslamming. (Art: J.
