Microfluidics: Biology’s Liquid Revolution
Laura Tran, PhD | Feb 26, 2024 | 8 min read
Microfluidic systems redefined biology by providing platforms that handle small fluid volumes, catalyzing advancements in cellular and molecular studies.
Dissecting the Immunological Synapse
Josh Roberts | May 4, 2003 | 7 min read
Courtesy of Michael Dustin PASS IT ON: A T cell (blue) interacts with a dendritic cell (yellow) through a molecular pattern described as an immunological synapse (red = adhesion, green = foreign antigen). This is a composite image of a scanning electron micrograph and a fluorescence image. We can do things that haven't been done before, I think, ever in cell biology," exclaims Mark Davis of Stanford University. His 3-D, fluorescence video-microscopy system allows him to count the number

Tagged for Cleansing Not just the cell's trash and recycling center, the ubiquitin system controls complex cellular pathways with elegant simplicity and precision. By Michele Pagano have always gravitated toward order. I may even take it a bit too far according to friends who liken my office to a museum. However, I like to think it not a compulsion, but a Feng Shui approach to life. With this need for order, I may have been better suited to
Sensory Biology Around the Animal Kingdom
The Scientist | Sep 1, 2016 | 10+ min read
From detecting gravity and the Earth’s magnetic field to feeling heat and the movement of water around them, animals can do more than just see, smell, touch, taste, and hear.

Weathering Hantavirus: Ecological Monitoring Provides Predictive Model
Steve Bunk | Jul 4, 1999 | 7 min read
Photo: Steve Bunk Dave Tinnin, field research associate in the University of New Mexico's biology department, takes blood samples and measurements of rodents caught on the research station grounds. At the end of a freeway exit near Soccoro, N.M., the hairpin turn onto a gravel road is marked by a sign that warns, "Wrong Way." But it isn't the wrong way if you want to reach the University of New Mexico's (UNM) long-term ecological research (LTER) station. The sign's subterfuge is the first indi

Ancient eyes head for the light
Jennifer Evans | Nov 18, 2008 | 2 min read
Simple communication between a pair of neighboring cells allows tiny marine worms to move toward light using a sensory organ believed to be an ancient precursor of the eye, according to a study out this week in Nature. "It's remarkable that a primitive organism of the ocean, a living marine zooplankton, has the sophisticated ability to move in response to light with a pigment-photoreceptor cell combination," linkurl:Russell Fernald,;http://www.stanford.edu/group/fernaldlab/index.shtml an evolu
Confocal Microscopes Widen Cell Biology Career Horizons
Diana Morgan | Jul 22, 1990 | 7 min read
Innovative instruments, often jerry-built from parts of other devices, are making a wide array of new projects possible One look through something called a confocal microscope was all it took for William Sunderland to make a drastic change in his career plans. A math student with what appeared to be a bright future in computers, he peeked one day through the lens of a microscope invented in the lab where he worked. The dazzlingly detailed pictures of living cells convinced him to switch his ma
