Researchers in Itay Budin's lab, incl. William Moore, have created a tool with the power to see lipid movement inside cells in unprecedented detail. The tool uses fluorogens to illuminate certain lipids while other remain dark. Their work appears in Nature Chemical Biology. bit.ly/4hnDFZG

The Many FACES of Lipid Research
Scientists have long wanted to get a closer look at the movement of lipids around a cell, but it’s tough to visualize with traditional light microscopy. UC San Diego researchers have unveiled a new technology with the power to see cells in unprecedented detail.
