A landmark 2018 study, Garvan scientists were the first in the world to directly observe i-motifs inside living human cells using a new antibody tool they had developed, that was able specifically to bind to them.
It is like the communication network that genes have among them to affect one another.
Mitochondria live in all our cells, but unlike other organelles, mitochondria sport their own DNA—a small, circular strand with about three dozen genes.
Naturally, the code depends upon the assistance of massive proteins called transcription factors, which determine which genes in one’s genome are turned on or off.
The researchers focused on mouse retinal ganglion cells in the study, which project from the retina to the superior colliculus a part of the brain where they synapse onto downstream target neurons.
