ShortStop predicted microprotein microscopy

Caption

Cells express a novel ShortStop-predicted microprotein (green), with cell nuclei stained blue. The pattern suggests microproteins are localized either in endosomes, which are organelles responsible for sorting and transporting cellular cargo, or in lysosomes, which are organelles that collect and remove cellular waste.
