In this article, Jason T. Gammack looks at some of the earliest applications benefiting from spatial biology techniques and walks through several key considerations to help scientists select the method that’s most appropriate for their experimental needs.

The threat from COVID-19 is receding and measures are being rolled back in many countries. In this opinion piece, Phil Groom argues that it's time to look at new diagnostic solutions in addition to vaccines.

In an interview with Technology Networks, Dr. Kathleen Hefferon highlighted how and why plant-derived vaccines are being designed to prevent diseases including Ebola, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Gel electrophoresis is a fundamental technique for separating molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins in laboratories across the biological disciplines. In this article, we will consider how polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) works, how it can be interpreted and some of its applications.

Recent advances in mRNA technology, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, mark the beginning of a therapeutic revolution in medicine.

A universal flu vaccine to cover all emerging strains is being pursued, but meanwhile the pandemic could result in better, faster seasonal flu shots. Anthony King explores the current research landscape for Technology Networks.

Gut microbiome development during the first 100 days of life is emerging as a unique and critical window for conditioning the naïve immune system. This article explores how human milk supports the formation of a healthy infant gut microbiome and the role that B. infantis plays in the process.

In this article, we consider some of the work being done to enhance the T-cell response to tumors, discuss the promise of oncolytic virotherapy and highlight the potential benefits of combined therapy.

In this article, we will consider how agarose gel electrophoresis works, how it can be interpreted and some of its purposes with emphasis of its use for DNA separation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a stack of lessons to assist in the development of future vaccines that should help the world develop vaccines for some of the most difficult pathogens to vaccinate against and prepare for future pandemics – if the lessons are remembered.
