XX Marks the Spot: Addressing Sex Bias in Neuroscience

Driven by her desire to concoct creative stories, Laura Tran merged her scientific knowledge with the art of storytelling.

Researchers challenge a male-dominated field and advocate for more representation of female subjects.

Textbooks often depict proteins as nicely folded three-dimensional structures, but many proteins are far from it.

Culturing pluripotent stem cells to replicate different stages of embryonic development allows researchers to more easily investigate this period.

Researchers explore algal biology for new strategies to help humans live more sustainably.

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the patch clamp technique was developed.

In the middle of the 20th century, science disciplines collided and set the stage for a technology that changed cell research.

Molecular neurobiologist Julie Moreno explores the consequences of protein misfolding in the brain.

Two decades ago, Caroline Gargett identified adult stem cells in the endometrium. Now, she explores their functions to improve women’s health.

Put on your thinking cap, and take on this fun challenge.

Leveraging the versatility of stem cells allows researchers to advance science across multiple disciplines.
