Heightened CD36 Activity

Caption

A fluorescence microscope image shows a human lung fibroblast cell (center, in red and teal) that has been genetically engineered to increase activity of the CD36 gene. The area in red shows where the engineered cell is overproducing the CD36 protein. The teal regions show the nuclei of various cells, including the engineered cell.
