A visual guide to streamlining high-plex, high-throughput workflows

Nanoparticle-coated bacteria carry cancer-derived proteins to dendritic cells, enabling the immune system to launch a response in a mouse model.

Diverse lines of evidence point to humans’ presence in the New World long before the dawn of Clovis culture. But rewriting this chapter of human history raises many questions about how these early people came to inhabit these continents.

Scientists have pinpointed several pathways through which the immune system could disrupt neuronal functioning and thereby lead to psychotic symptoms.

A new methodology combines existing techniques to reveal the specific function and location of multiple types of neurons at once.

Some studies suggest that associations between the health of children and the experiences of their parents or grandparents may be due to epigenetic mechanisms, but confounding factors challenge this interpretation.

Researchers can now explain how some marine plants obtain their nitrogen.

From diagnosis to tracking treatment responses, bacteria and other microbes in the blood, gut, and tumors of cancer patients may provide helpful hints for improving their care.

When micronuclei rupture, chromosomes break, recombine, and form circles, causing inflammation and promoting carcinogenic growth.

Scientists have documented examples of corals “remembering” prior exposure to heat stress in the field, and are now simulating these phenomena in the lab to better understand their cellular and molecular underpinnings.

Adapting DNA nanopore sequencing to peptides allows researchers to identify single amino acid differences.

Researchers use imaging to show how actin fibers tilt and then swirl to create left-right asymmetry in the cell.

The movements of so-called jumping genes can generate the genetic diversity needed to drive evolutionary change in populations over time.  

The hinge region of cohesin pulls DNA to two head regions, like a person’s hand-to-hand motion of pulling on a rope.

The pathogen known as swine flu evolved in pigs in Mexico following imports of the livestock from the US and Europe.

Seven years of surveillance and research revealed the complex history of the H1N1 virus that leapt from pigs to humans and sparked the global swine flu outbreak.

Research in animals and people supports a range of mechanisms by which the parasites affect physiology and immune responses.

RNA editing platforms leverage the natural activity of ADAR enzymes to make key changes to messenger RNAs before they are translated into proteins.

Neurons stressed with chemicals produce Wnt, which in turn triggers changes in the germline.
