    Time-Lapse Analysis Offers New Look at How Cells Repair DNA Damage

    Time-lapse imaging can make complicated processes easier to grasp—think of a stitched-together sequence of photos that chronicles the construction of a building. A group of scientists, led by Sylvain Costes of the Biological Systems & Engineering Division, are using a similar approach to study how cells repair DNA damage.
