Tompa: Cellsticle

by Chris Tachibana | Oct 3, 2018

It’s a listicle on “5 things we (still) don’t know about cells,” Rachel Tompa says, so it’s a cellsticle! It’s also a thoughtful, thorough exploration from Rachel for the Allen Institute for Cell Science about the abiding mysteries in cell biology. Some of the questions, Rachel explains, were first posed in the 19th century and scientists are still working on answering them. Follow @Rachel_Tompa
