Tagging proteins with GFP-grabbing nanobodies enables instant tracking of the proteins’ dynamics in live cells.

Researchers devise more-realistic means of forecasting the effects of climate change on complex marine ecosystems.

Soil scientists use a gas-producing reporter system to assess gene activity in bacteria.

A transgenic approach allows researchers to collect the organelles from specific cells in nematodes with unprecedented efficiency.

Adding a fusion gene to certain mitochondria in C. elegans enables researchers to collect and analyze them.

Meet some of the people featured in the June 2017 issue of The Scientist.

These engineered “cells” were made from the secretions and membranes of human mesenchymal stem cells.

See researchers' recipe for synthetic mesenchymal stem cells, which showed cardiac regenerative potential in mice.

Incorporating light-controlled dimerization domains into kinases provides tight regulation of these enzymes.

Custom-designed kinases have built-in switches that act as gatekeepers for the enzymes' active sites.
