Super-resolution microscopy reveals the local distribution of proteins inside cells at the nanoscale but is in practice limited to visualizing only 2 to 3 different proteins in the same cell. FLASH-PAINT breaks this limit and empowers cell biologists to interrogate the complex spatial relationships between an essentially unlimited number of different molecules.

Scientists at Yale University have developed a "plasma membrane-on-a-chip" technology to study cell membranes more accurately. The cell membrane is crucial for cell function and is targeted by many drugs. Traditional methods have limitations, but this new silicon-based chip supports studying harvested cell membranes while maintaining lipid and protein asymmetry. Researchers can study protein and lipid behavior in these membranes, gaining insights into cell function and drug interactions. This technology has potential for advancing medicine development.
