One way to study cellular functions is to break them down to the basics and rebuild from the bottom up. Housed in a basic cell-like membraned structure called a liposome, researchers have studied many cellular functions, including DNA replication. This current study describes a a method for sorting such synthetic cells according to the function of interest, based on fluorescence intensity using confocal microscopy linked with neural network–assisted image analysis

What is BPoD?
BPoD stands for Biomedical Picture of the Day. Managed by the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences until Jul 2023, it is now run independently by a dedicated team of scientists and writers. The website aims to engage everyone, young and old, in the wonders of biology, and its influence on medicine. The ever-growing archive of more than 4000 research images documents over a decade of progress. Explore the collection and see what you discover. Images are kindly provided for inclusion on this website through the generosity of scientists across the globe.
BPoD is also available in Catalan at www.bpod.cat with translations by the University of Valencia.
