This year’s crop of winning products features many with a clinical focus and others that represent significant advances in sequencing, single-cell analysis, and more.

A method appears to be the first to noninvasively reconstruct language from brain activity.

The method, dubbed “DIANA,” could transform neuroscientists’ understanding of how the brain works, researchers say—though for now, it’s only been tested in anesthetized mice.

There is only one week remaining to submit your new product to vie for a coveted spot in The Scientist’s 2022 competition.

A study finds that CRISPR-Nickase, which changes just one allele of a given gene, improves gene editing efficiency compared with CRISPR-Cas9.

A new technique reveals cells’ precise locations and functions in the brain. Its developers have already used it to identify a previously unknown neuron type.

A new methodology combines existing techniques to reveal the specific function and location of multiple types of neurons at once.

A research group argues that a species’ number of neurons, rather than brain volume, should serve as indicator of cognitive capacity when studying brain evolution, but some experts voice doubts.

A study shows “sonogenetics” could be a useful new tool in neuroscience and other fields.

A new method helps researchers uncover the rules of ribosome recruitment in yeast.

The COVID-19 pandemic is still with us. Biomedical innovation has rallied to address that pressing concern while continuing to tackle broader research challenges.

Using a novel lab technique, researchers identified a mutation that allows the virus to insert more genetic material into host cells.

A full beard can absorb nearly 40 percent of the shock from a punch to the face, according to one winning study.
