CRISPR gene editing has enabled scientists to rewrite the genetic code of living organisms and is revolutionizing medicine. Here, we highlight some of the latest applications of CRISPR gene editing in infectious disease research.

In this interview, Alex Freeman, the founder of Octopus, discusses the progress made since the platform's launch and the ongoing challenges of establishing a new paradigm in academic publishing.

Scientists have taken a fresh approach to finding a way to target neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumor of infancy. Their novel gene target could offer hope for finding alternative treatments with fewer long-term side effects.

A new metabolome-informed proteome imaging (MIPI) workflow has been developed for studying microscale microhabitats in complex ecosystems, opening the door to novel explorations and applications in both environmental and clinical settings.

Cell culture underpins many aspects of research and development. In this article, we hear from three experts working in or alongside academic, industry and clinical settings to help ensure the integrity and safety of cells and cell-derived products.

Trying to publish scientific research can be slow, demoralizing and put up barriers to progress. But what if there was another way, one that let authors take more control while making readers more informed about how their peers evaluate the study?

In this article, we consider what microglial cells are, how they are generated, their function in the body and medical conditions related to them.

In this article, we explore the importance of LEAF and how the choice of equipment – together with better habits – can significantly contribute to a greener and more sustainable future for laboratories.

In this interview, Dr. Banks, a research fellow at the John Innes Centre and recipient of a prestigious fellowship for early career scientists, shares insights on her research, challenges facing early career researchers and what could be done to help.

Technology Networks spoke to the research team behind the discovery of a network of microbes that appear to drive the decomposition of animal flesh to learn more about how the finding could help in modulating decomposition processes.
