March 4, 2014 | Terry Sharrer
It is assumed that cells behave differently in vivo and in vitro, but a University of Pennsylvania research group has demonstrated the difference in terms of total RNA expressions. You’ll have to click on the link to Nature Methods to get an explanation of how transcriptome in vivo analysis tags work, as the story about it points out the lower level of RNA activity with a neuron in its natural microenvironment and why that presents new insights for understanding pathology and therapy.
