MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CAMBRIDGE, MA — As cells perform their everyday functions, they turn on a variety of genes and cellular pathways. MIT engineers have now coaxed cells to inscribe the history of these events in a long protein chain that can be imaged using a light microscope. Cells programmed to produce these chains...
