The Scientist is the magazine for life science professionals—a publication dedicated to covering a wide range of topics central to the study of cell and molecular biology, genetics, and other life-science fields. Through innovative print articles, online stories, and multimedia features, the magazine explores the latest scientific discoveries, trends in research, innovative techniques, new technology, business, and careers. It is read by leading researchers in industry and academia who value penetrating analyses and broad perspectives on life-science topics both within and beyond their areas of expertise. Written by prominent scientists and professional journalists, articles in are concise, accurate, accessible, and entertaining.
This postdoctoral researcher explores plant-associated microbiomes and hopes to leverage these interactions to grow resilient crops and promote global food security.
From releasing drug payloads to powering implants, acoustic waves offer noninvasive strategies to target malignant cells and enhance drug delivery to tumors.
Over the course of a decade, researchers studied the microbes living in and on thousands of people, investigating how the human microbiome influences health and disease.
This postdoctoral researcher explores host-pathogen interactions and immune signaling pathways within the HSV/HIV syndemic to uncover novel targets for prevention.
This postdoctoral researcher explores how high-fat diets influence the enteric nervous system and neuro-immune interactions in the gastrointestinal tract.
From molecular differences in the brain to distinct responses to anesthesia and pain, sex-inclusive research fills gaps left by decades of male-biased studies.
From blocking viral replication to suppressing pathogenic worms, Wolbachia’s unusual relationships with its hosts inspire new ways to control disease spread.
Explore how emerging biomarker research and ultrasensitive multiplex proteomics are revealing molecular signatures associated with neurodegeneration, inflammation, and disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Explore practical strategies for designing, optimizing, and validating qPCR assays to improve specificity, reproducibility, and confidence across routine and high-throughput gene expression studies.
Explore strategies for navigating critical analytical decisions in single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, from quality control and data integration to clustering, marker selection, and cell-type annotation.
Automation can help to increase efficiency and reproducibility, but often comes at a significant cost. The ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot streamlines workflows at an affordable price, offering accessible automation with minimal programming requirements.
Corning® Cell Strainers are sterile, easy-to-use devices for rapidly isolating primary cells to consistently obtain a uniform single-cell suspension from tissues. Applications include stem cells and primary cells.
