Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

New scientific methods could one day render animal studies—the standard in research laboratories for more than 100 ...

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

IVDR: where are we now in molecular testing? How IVDR implementation is progressing in molecular biology laboratories in different European countries IVDR, the new EU legislation for in-vitro ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...

There are a variety of machines, consumables, and safety equipment needed to operate a molecular biology lab. And yes, for the vast majority of labs, purified salmon sperm DNA is one of those ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

3D cell cultures are no longer a futuristic idea. They’re already reshaping how we study diseases like cancer, offering more realistic models of how cells behave in the body. But despite their ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...
