What if cells could remember their past? Researchers have developed “TimeVaults,” engineered cellular structures that capture and store mRNA over time. This innovation may help explain cancer drug resistance, stem cell differentiation, and how prior cellular events shape future behavior.
A ‘time capsule’ for cells stores the secret experiences of their past
Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger RNA molecules.
