Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

A research team has recently made a significant discovery about the evolutionary age of different type of cells in a small animal called Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). By using single-cell ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Researchers have long faced a blunt limitation in biology. They could delete proteins or switch genes off, but they could not finely tune how much of a protein existed in specific tissues over an ...

A storage center on the Moon could serve as a backup resource for the biological record and for genetic resurrection attempts. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

This kit was created to aid with the extraction of high-quality and yield RNA from fatty tissues such as the brain, breast, adipose tissues, etc. However, tissues with a high fat content, such as the ...

To accurately diagnose and treat diseases, doctors and researchers need to see inside bodies. Medical imaging tools have come a long way since the humble x-ray, but most existing tools remain too ...
