"Theoretical physics brings an important perspective to studying biological issues," said Krastan Blagoev, program director of NSF's Physics of Living System Program, who worked on building the unique public-private partnership. "Using an interdisciplinary approach to living systems helps researchers solve some basic science problems that stop us from making further progress in understanding and treating cancer." Here, an SW620 colon cancer cell line with RNA in situ hybridization is stained for LINE-1 non-coding RNA (Green) and GAPDH housekeeping gene (Red). DAPI nuclear stain (Blue).
