A massive research program investigating causal links between the gut microbiome and autism sparked fierce pushback from scientific critics and advocacy groups.

A New $50M Microbiome-Autism Project Gets a Serious Gut Check

A new system that enables researchers to uniquely tag monoclonal antibodies for use in microscopy could help simplify complex imaging studies. 

Fluorescent microscopy of a fly embryo stained with five antibodies. Along the bottom, from left to right, the following colors appear representing unique homeobox (Hox) proteins: Magenta, Green, Yellow, and Red. Vertical cyan stripes appear above this line of colors, and in the middle of the embryo behind these strips is orange staining.
