Article Synopsis
  • Scientists found that tumors are made up of different types of cells, which can affect how they grow and how well treatments work.
  • They created a new way to track these different cells using special tags and imaging technology, called EpicMIBI.
  • By using this technology on small cell lung cancer models, they discovered that certain cancer cells could grow faster when mixed with other types, showing how complex tumors can be.

In vitro selection is a powerful tool that can be used to understand basic principles of molecular evolution. We used in vitro selection to understand how changes in length and the accumulation of point mutations enable the evolution of functional RNAs. Using RNA populations of various lengths, we performed a series of in vitro experiments to select for ribozymes with RNA ligase activity.
