‘DNA microscopy’ offers new way to image cells

Using DNA microscopy, scientists can identify different cells (colored dots) within a sample — with no prior knowledge of what the sample looks like. With DNA microscopy, scientists can build a picture of cells and simultaneously amass enormous amounts of genomic information, Weinstein says. Credit: Weinstein et al./Cell

He thinks DNA microscopy could one day let scientists speed the development of immunotherapy treatments that help patients’ immune systems fight cancer.
