COS Cell or Crab Nebula? COS cells like this one are engineered to make human forms of two proteins thought to regulate the structure of heart cells. “Staining the proteins with fluorescent antibodies allows us to see their location in the cell, and also produces images resembling something one would see from a space telescope, much less a microscope.” Joseph Dwyer, King’s College London
