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 investigates how human papillomavirus manipulates cellular machinery to drive cancer and why these tumors respond uniquely to treatment.
This postdoctoral researcher explores the molecular mechanisms of embryonic eye development and the functional role of the key protein in preventing vision loss.
The pressure to publish can collide with ethics, leading to systemic failures, retractions, and practices that straddle the line between good science and fraud.
Ryan Cawood from Lab Thread discusses how a new generation of lab software aims to unify fragmented workflows and give scientists a complete view of their experiments.
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 how in vivo CAR-neutrophil engineering and advanced light-sheet imaging are opening new avenues for studying and targeting glioblastoma and other solid tumors.
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.
Real time imaging shouldn't outlast your cell surface stain. CellBrite® Steady: cell surface staining kits with fluorescent membrane dye plus enhancer for imaging live cell surface for several hours to days.
