Through immunofluorescence microscopy, a rainbow of stains shows Amy Engevik where proteins go in health and disease states.

Some commensal bacteria help shore up intestinal walls in mice, which can prevent food allergies.

Researchers used organ chips to mimic conditions that help heart cells mature.

Influenza infection activates a pathway that leads to a detrimental drop in progesterone during pregnancy in mice.

With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.

Scientists hoping to treat immunodeficiencies using gene therapy have found a way to edit stem cells in mice without disrupting gene regulation.

Mammalian cells outpace bacteriophages in the microbial food chain by devouring phages to fuel their growth.

Neurons linked to metabolic processes slow aging in mice.

E. coli divides faster than it can replicate its genome, while simultaneously expressing its genes. Scientists recently revealed the intricate molecular coordination that makes this possible.

Scientists have genetically modified isolated microbes for decades. Now, using CRISPR, they intend to target entire microbiomes.

The road to developing monoclonal antibodies for effectively targeting cancer was paved with tenacity, passion, and strokes of luck.
