“Scientists would like to know more about how cells work. But seeing what’s happening inside a cell isn’t easy. It’s dark in there, and even if you shine a light, many of the critical chemical reactions are invisible.” – Excerpt
“Shining Lights (Literally) on the Workings of Cells”
I have no idea if this will ever pertain to those of us in Myelomaville, but it is interesting nonetheless and I could see that perhaps one day, it would be deemed helpful in the study and research of MM and perhaps clues to it’s cause and cure. It is a fascinating little story if you have the time. I recommend listening to the audio version.
Synopsis is they have figured out a way get light inside the cell to have a better look.
Haha, the same thing happens to me at times as well. I like it. Glimmer of hope to be sure!
thank you lori for this post; indeed, fascinatiing. and one never knows how any bit of advancement in unlocking the secrets of exactly how cells work might impact the search for the causes and the cure for myeloma and other devastating diseases. articles like this are important, not just for the science but also for any glimmer of hope we need to hang onto. oh, gosh – glimmer?! HUH! i never know what will come out of these type-tapping fingers, but i like it!
warm hugs,
