We have 14 members. This week we looked at a new method of cell isolation discovered by Greengard, Heiman, and colleagues, called Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP), that reveals translational profiles in cells by isolating the genetic messages as they pass through the protein production factories called ribosomes.
This new technique will help propel the scientific community, which has struggled to sleuth out the subtle molecular differences amongst the hundreds of specialized cell types that are tangled together in the brain tissues, toward a better understanding of the causes of Parkinson's disease.
