Determining the 3D shapes of biological molecules is one of the hardest problems in modern biology and medical discovery. Companies and research institutions often spend millions of dollars to ...

With the National Institutes of Health shifting funding toward human-relevant, non-animal science, Connecticut’s leadership in bioscience has a timely opportunity to champion research methods that ...

Spatial biology captures molecular complexity by preserving the physical context of cells in their native environments. From deciphering RNA dynamics within stress granules to scaling molecular ...

Modern engineering biology has progressed from making one engineered microbe, testing it, and repeating it to making 100 or more bespoke microbes at a time, and this approach has been further ...

When an unidentified respiratory disease began circulating the world in early 2020, molecular biology researchers suddenly found that their work was the world’s top story. Efforts to identify the ...

At NSLS-II, all five beamlines in the NSLS-II Structural Biology Program are co-located in a single area of the facility, with both user laboratories and a facility for biological Cryo-EM (Laboratory ...

Current high-plex approaches for studying single-cell biology, such as flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing, reveal the cell populations present in a sample but are unable to characterize the ...

The formation of supramolecular structures (dimers or oligomers) is emerging as an important aspect of G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) biology. In some cases, GPCR oligomerization is a prerequisite ...

Researchers have developed a novel application of histological staining to screen for ancient proteins in situ—within the fossil's microstructure—advancing the field of paleoproteomics by addressing ...

Scientists have recovered ancient RNA from a 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth in Siberia, offering an unprecedented glimpse ...

Imagine waking up every morning in a house that is just as alive as you are. With synthetic biology, your future home could be a living, breathing marvel of nature and biotechnology. Yes, it’s a bold ...
