Question: What is your favourite thing that you have learnt about cells ?

I think the way they respond to different treatments is really interesting, down to their shape and the way they look. I really enjoy staining cells using special fluorescent antibodies, so we can use different antibodies that ‘stick’ to different things, which can help us see what is happening to different processes within the cells, from parts of their microscopic structure, to points of DNA breakage, to activating specific proteins. Plus it’s pretty!
