Coupures d’ADN HeLa produites par un laser dans des cellules cancéreuses

Co-marking (in yellow) DNA breaks in HeLa cells, observed using fluorescence microscopy. DNA is marked in blue by the DAPI protein, which is specked with green as a result of introducing phosphorylated RPA protein, which bonds to single-stranded DNA. The red marking is attributable to bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU - a molecule used to determine a cell's division cycle phase), which bonds to the breaks. The aim is to study post-break DNA resynthesis. The yellow areas are the result of the superimposition of the aforementioned colours.

CNRS Images,

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
