Cellular metabolism is a powerful indicator of cell activation, differentiation, growth, cell death and disease progression. Therefore, metabolite monitoring offers a way for ...

What is an RNA sequencing library? In all RNA-seq experiments, a library of cDNA fragments attached to adapters must be synthesized in order for sequencing to be successful. How do you prepare an RNA ...

Researchers have identified the genes involved in the sea cucumber’s gory ritual of expelling and regenerating its gut. Will it become the next important animal model for studies into regenerative ...

Could a humble, yet deceptively dangerous, snail provide the answer to the opioid crisis? Deep within the ocean live thousands of fierce predators gliding silently though the water armed with jagged ...

Cell engineering as a field has developed rapidly in recent decades and is now entering therapeutic applications, but which are the key areas to watch in 2020? Cell engineering may be defined as the ...

Genetically altered SHANK proteins are linked to autism. A new study shows SHANKs play a powerful, unexpected role in cancer as well. SHANK regulates adhesion and protrusion in cancer cells and ...

The Nanoimager from Oxford NanoImaging (ONI) is a desktop-compatible, super-resolution, single-molecule fluorescence microscope capable of resolving structures with 20 nm resolution and a localization ...

Researchers unveil a new technique for studying neural connections in vivo in a recent study into Down’s syndrome. Transplanted human brain cells (green) and their nuclei (purple). Recent research, ...
