Microscope Reveals Surprising Milk Protein Clusters in Engineered Seeds (IMAGE)
Caption
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of engineered seed cells reveals that, instead of reaching its intended storage compartment, the milk protein formed previously unrecognized structures resembling natural casein micelles clustered near tiny oil bodies. Using gold nanoparticle labeling, researchers captured these novel, protein-rich clusters-visible as distinct dark circles-under high magnification to map their unexpected cellular location
