The protein collagen forms an integral part of our body’s structures. However, there are gaps in our understanding of how the body produces collagen fibers. Looking to plug these gaps, Tokyo Tech researchers have developed a way to image the intracellular processing of a collagen precursor, type I procollagen, in real time! This could help […]
