If you’re using antibodies in your research, you've probably found yourself staring at a browser full of tabs, each open to a different antibody option. Or you may find yourself with only two options, but very little data on which might work in your application. It can be quite ...
Integrins are essential cell surface receptors involved in complex signaling pathways and the linkage of intra- and extracellular environments. Found on nearly every cell in the human body, integrins are key to a diverse array of processes, including cell adhesion, migration, ...
Since its early years, the light microscope has been a powerful tool in almost all disciplines. In biology, innovative new imaging approaches are constantly being developed which combine computational processing with biological protocols and revolutionary physical approaches. ...
Welcome to the last of our Summer SciComm Series! We hope you've enjoyed this small glimpse into the world of science communication and can use what you've learned to share your science with others. My favorite quote about science ever comes from an interview in which someone ...
Working with AAV vectors in the brain and peripheral nervous system presents a special challenge to scientists. What works well in one cell or neuron type may not work well for a neighboring cell type, even within the same brain region or nucleus. Just optimizing AAV expression ...
I’ve always been fascinated by the human body and how it works. I used to stay up past my bedtime, poring over my grandparents’ medical textbooks by torchlight under the covers. In high school, I went to all the optional sexual health sessions and reported the intel back to my ...
As a scientist, perhaps the most important part of your research is communicating the results of the work. Yes, those control experiments are important — but without letting other scientists know the results, your work won’t have any impact!
I didn’t truly address the question of what I wanted to do when I grew up until I was all but finished my undergraduate degree (and I hope I’m not alone in this sentiment). Entering the final semester of a neuroscience major, I was struck with the realisation that I didn’t want ...
