(Primary source abstract:) "[Researchers] correlated time-lapse images of moving CEFs [chicken embryo fibroblasts] with the distribution of beta-actin mRNA in these cells." |
| Comments |
"Cytoplasmic actin,
for example, is expressed at 1.5X10^8 molecules per cell (primary Source), whereas
some transcription factors are expressed at only 4X10^3 molecules per cell (Biggin, 2011)." |
