Berkeley Researchers Develop New Method for Manipulating Cells with Light

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a new technique that uses light to manipulate cells more precisely than ever before. The method, called "multi-plane illumination microscopy," allows researchers to control the behavior of cells by shining light on them in different patterns. This could lead to new treatments for a variety of diseases, such as cancer and diabetes.
