Drug Discovery & Development

From microglia reprogramming to immune cell-based diagnostics, 2025 was a big year for breakthroughs in cell biology.

Survey data showed that hoarding research topics and resources, termed the Gollum effect, has a lasting impact on trainees and perpetuates a toxic research culture.

A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is essential to prevent societal collapse, but Universe 25's relevance to humans remains disputed.

Flies carrying disease-causing microbes will likely contaminate the food they touch, but different factors determine whether the person who eats it will get sick.

In this webinar, Jonathan Schott and Alex Forrest-Hay will showcase how new biomarker assays for brain-derived pTau217 capture disease-relevant changes earlier and with greater resolution.

Single-cell sequencing can yield a treasure trove of information on immune cell population characteristics and behavior.
