The overall process for developing and manufacturing vaccines and cell and gene therapies (CGTs) is challenging and resource intensive because it involves complex and variable raw materials, demanding ...

Age is the single greatest risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, yet the cellular mechanisms that drive age-related protein accumulation in the brain remain incompletely understood. In this ...

A research team led by Prof. Xu Pingyong from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an innovative approach to visualize and rapidly screen small peptide knockins ...

The silent epidemic caused by chlamydia can be resolved by producing efficient ways to diagnose patients with the disease; however, small discoveries must be made first. The silent epidemic caused by ...

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

A cell’s morphology comprises vast amounts of information on cell health and differentiation state and yields insight into cell phenotype. Biologists utilize this information on a daily basis to aid ...

Proliferation assays provide quantitative evaluation of a cell population’s viability and growth, and are a crucial aspect of cancer biology research. There are various types of proliferation assays, ...

Observing proteins precisely within cells is extremely important for many branches of research but has been a significant technical challenge—especially in living cells, as the required fluorescent ...

CRISPR gRNA is used to knock out specific genes in cells, which is barcoded into the sEVs they release. By analyzing the barcodes in the sEVs and cells, researchers can better understand the factors ...
