Watching the Hippo pathway in real time in growing organs

Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, University of Melbourne

A new frontier in biomedical research will involve watching individual proteins work in real time, in living organs. Traditionally, researchers have drawn conclusions about gene function using indirect techniques that only allow us to infer what a gene normally does, without actually watching it work. Read more
