Researchers show that nanowire-based biosensors can collect and detect proteins in one chip.
Many vaccines are on the market for various serogroups of meningococcal disease, but a solution to provide broad protection against MenB remains elusive.
Researchers show that DNA supercoils are dynamic structures that can “hop” long distances, a phenomenon that could affect gene regulation.
Stem cells collected from younger donors are more effective for transplantation and regenerative medicine than those from older individuals.
The latest news from a long-term study of calorie restriction in rhesus macaques shows better health, but no boost in lifespan, in monkeys who eat less.
Researchers show that blood spotted onto Guthrie cards, usually at birth, can be a high quality source of methylated DNA for long-term epigenetic studies.
A strategy to transmit signals to retinal nerve cells may show promise as a step toward alternative retinal prosthesis design.
Researchers use UV light to stimulate protein production in nano-sized delivery capsules in mice.
Alterations in the commensal gut flora of expecting women may be linked to characteristic weight gain and decreases in insulin sensitivity during pregnancy.
