A Very Fine Line

Everywhere you go, you are seeing up close imagery of the body. The picture above depicts a " 3-D visualization of interacting cadherin molecules in their native arrangement. Known molecular structures of cadherins (grey and red ribbons) are fit into the electron tomogram (multicolour) of the complex. (Credit: Achilleas Frangakis, EMBL)

Not only are scientists getting "up close and personal" in the imaging department but people are also "taping" how cells operate in real time as seen by these two Science Daily articles titled Lasers Improve Scientists' Understanding Of Complex Proteins and The Molecular Post Office Inside the Cell

Implications of this ability to see the invisible knows no bounds.
