“It’s a bit like giving the soil a DNA test.” A new droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method quantifies root DNA directly from soil ...

We spoke to David Klenerman, co-developer of sequencing by synthesis, to find out how his work heralded the next generation ...

A new study has demonstrated that colon cancer cells may change identity to metastasize. Loss of GATA6, a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off, can reprogram colorectal ...

Researchers have identified neurons that play a significant role in directing attention, paving the way for new ADHD ...

A novel ‘asthma-on-a-chip’ platform breathes new life into study of the condition, offering hope for future treatments. University of Pennsylvania (PA, USA) engineers have developed a human ...

Expanding the CRISPR toolbox, scientists have introduced a new technology that can rip cancer- and virus-infected cells’ genomes apart, while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. A novel CRISPR platform ...

ChemDiv (CA, USA), a provider of integrated drug discovery solutions, has announced significant milestones achieved through its proprietary central nervous system-focused drug discovery platform. The ...

Using human cerebral organoids, researchers have revealed how Ebola virus persists in the brain. An international collaboration led by researchers at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine ...

Next generation sequencing (NGS) plays a central role in modern genomics. The Quantabio sparQ DNA Frag & Library Prep Kit combines enzymatic DNA fragmentation and library construction for short-read ...

In this episode, the fourth in our miniseries covering the mAbs journal article collection on artificial intelligence and machine learning in antibody development, we speak to Andrew Buchanan, Senior ...

Researchers have discovered that specialized neurons and vellus-like hair in mice – hairs that are like peach fuzz on humans – give rise to itchiness in response to touch. Working with mouse models, ...

Albert Heck (left), Professor of Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Proteomics at Utrecht University (The Netherlands), has pioneered several technological developments in MS, most notably native ...
