Researchers have developed a chemical test that could form the basis of an inexpensive and effective cannabis breathalyzer.

Scientists have come up with a new method to track plastic emissions from inland areas to sea. This method is useful to identify the "hotspots" of plastic emission and can even help to implement appropriate measures to avoid plastic pollution.

New CRISPR-based research tool delivers results in an hour in a one-step reaction; Researchers share protocol and kits to advance research and move toward clinical validation.

In most mammals, there are certain genes that can be likened to an "alarm system", informing an organism when foreign material such as a virus enters the body and triggering an immune response. A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology suggests that pangolins, despite being mammals, lack two of the genes involved in such an alarm system.

Biobanks are rich collections of data and biospecimens, specifically developed as resources for research. Cloud-based laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are emerging as a better way to store, analyze and share biospecimens, offering an opportunity for biobanks looking to invest in effective data management solutions to support these interrelated goals.

This article explores the mechanism of ubiquitin-mediated proteasome-dependent degradation and how it has been employed to design novel therapeutics that can turn any class of human proteins into a therapeutic target.
