Advanced microscopy techniques have revealed how ribosomes recruit to mRNA while it's being transcribed, potentially enabling the development of new antibiotics that target this pathway in bacteria.

To learn more about the new method, Technology Networks attended RAFA 2024 to hear from one of its pioneers, Sofia Drakopoulou, a researcher at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

To learn more about this new food analysis method, Technology Networks attended RAFA 2024 to hear from one of its pioneers, Chris Elliott, a professor of food safety at Queen’s University Belfast.

University researchers have developed a novel method to uncover low-abundance proteins in plasma, revealing critical biomarkers for early disease detection. This approach uses small molecules to reduce interference from common proteins.

This article delves into MS data analysis and its associated challenges, how AI/ML can aid analyses and exciting potential future developments in the field, with specific applications to proteomics and metabolomics research.

MSU researchers have developed a plasma proteomics method, uncovering hidden biomarkers by reducing interference from abundant proteins. This innovation enhances early disease detection and precision medicine.

This article explores the discovery that COVID-19 can induce widespread clotting in the blood of patients.

A study from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences shows that microplastic biofilms in wastewater treatment plants can harbor pathogens like E. coli and norovirus, even after treatment. These biofilms protect pathogens from removal processes.

Geologists have uncovered strong evidence from Colorado that massive glaciers covered Earth down to the equator hundreds of millions of years ago, supporting the "Snowball Earth" theory.

Researchers identified key genes and molecules responsible for the corpse flower’s notorious stench and heating during blooming. The study reveals the roles of sulfur compounds and putrescine in its smell and demonstrates thermogenesis in plants.
