by The Scripps Research Institute Scripps Research scientists have found a protein in immune cells (called neutrophils) that could be a target against harmful inflammation. An imaging technique called Stochastic Optical Reconstruction super-resolution Microscopy (STORM, right image) shows that in resting neutrophils, the WASH protein complex (green) forms a molecular clustered complex with microfilaments called...
