Scientists discover hidden “winds” inside cells that could explain cancer spread

A 3D single-molecule super-resolution microscopy (iPALM) image showing individual actin protein molecules inside a cell, each rendered as a single dot and captured at extraordinary detail — roughly 10,000 times finer than a human hair. Colors indicate depth within the cell, from blue at the bottom to magenta at the top. The blue and magenta dots cluster into curved structures that form a wall-like barrier separating the region of active fluid flow from the rest of the cell interior. Credit:
