  • A new technology developed at MIT enables scientists to label proteins across millions of individual cells in fully intact 3D tissues with unprecedented speed, uniformity, and versatility.

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking technology developed by MIT researchers for fast and precise protein labeling in intact tissues. This technology, known as "TurboID," enhances the ability to study protein interactions and functions within their native biological context without the need for cell lysis or extensive sample preparation. TurboID uses an enzyme called biotin ligase, which has been engineered to label proteins quickly and with high specificity. This method allows scientists to observe protein dynamics in real-time, offering insights into cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and potential therapeutic targets. The technology promises to revolutionize fields like neuroscience, oncology, and developmental biology by providing a clearer picture of how proteins interact within complex tissue environments.
