To understand how memories are formed and maintained, neuroscientists travel far beyond the cell body in search of answers.

Clinicians and researchers teamed up to investigate how inappropriate proinflammatory mechanisms contribute to the pathogenesis of drug-refractory epilepsy.

Researchers are using souped-up mass spectrometry to localize proteins within brain cells.

Conversations between the immune and central nervous systems are proving to be essential for the healthy social behavior, learning, and memory.

Once thought only to attack neurons, immune cells turn out to be vital for central nervous system function.

The Scientist’s annual competition uncovered a bonanza of interesting technologies that made their way onto the market and into labs this year.

From a rapid molecular test for COVID-19 to tools that can characterize the antibodies produced in the plasma of patients recovering from the disease, this year’s winners reflect the research community’s shared focus in a challenging year.

Proteomes and 2D Gel Apparatus Providers Big science has moved on to proteins. With the new brand of science termed proteomics--named by the Australians Marc Wilkins and Keith Williams to mean the "set of PROTEins encoded by the genOME"--the push is on around the globe to produce a complete description of a cell/tissue/organism in terms of the proteins produced. The challenge is all the greater because the expressed protein pattern changes with time and environment--responding to developmenta

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.

Nucleic acid aptamers and protein scaffolds could change the way researchers study biological processes and treat disease.
