Seeing Cell Division Like Never Before
Video Overview & Insights
Using a combination of fluorescent microscopy and cutting-edge cryo-electron tomography, researchers in the labs of Luke Chao and Tom Bernhardt in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have provided never-before-seen views of double-membraned bacteria as they divide.
Thank you for this video, very enlightening!
The work offers new insights into the division process and may aid in the fight against antibiotic resistance, since these drugs typically target bacteria as they divide, when the cell wall and membranes are weakest.
Led by postdoctoral research fellows Paula Navarro and Andrea Vettiger, the two groups made the discoveries possible by combining their expertise in bacterial cell division, bacterial genetics, and cutting-edge imaging.
Great video! Really enjoyed it.
Results were published Sept. 12 in Nature Microbiology.

@DaltonCarteryI'm sorry but I have to say this: we are basically watching cell porn in the highest resolution currently possible. All that's left is to capture their molecular structure down to the atom at the moment of splitting
@torrotodonoTo think that we came from rock headed monkeys or apes who didn't know anything, to making tools like this just shows the evolutions
