Cell Stress

Caption

Fluorescent labeling allows researchers to watch the cellular stress response in real time. In this image of a cell, the red dots are messenger RNA, the blue are stress granules, and the green are p-bodies. P-bodies are another protein-RNA assemblies like stress granules, but exist regardless of stress conditions. The researchers also studied interactions between mRNAs and P-bodies.
