Visualizing specific structures based on selective degradation

08/02/2019

Visualizing specific structures over background fluorescence can be challenging. The Wehman lab has developed a labeling technique based on selective degradation that allows super-resolution insights on standard microscopes, improving the imaging of specific proteins, organelles, and cells in many model systems. The project has been published in Nature Communications.
