Glowing proteins enable real-time, 3-D study of essential enzymes

Working in organoid models, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new tool to study protein-kinase C (PKC) enzymes, which play a critical role in cell growth, differentiation and survival. Malfunction of these proteins is linked to many human diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but it has been difficult for scientists to study how and when they are active in different areas...
