Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered "Jekyll and Hyde" immune cells in the brain that can cause fatal swelling in the hours after brain injury but ultimately assist in brain repair, suggesting that the timing of brain injury treatments is critical.

Scientists have uncovered new clues to the immune infiltration of the brain seen in a central nervous system disease in monkeys that mimics multiple sclerosis.

Using gene therapy, a research team has succeeded for the first time in getting mice to walk again after a complete cross-sectional injury. The nerve cells produced the curative protein themselves.

At Technology Networks we understand the importance of time. That's why we've launched Teach Me in 10 a video series that challenges scientists to present and summarize their research area, a scientific concept, or technology in ten minutes or less.

Cell culture contamination is a major concern for biological and biomedical research, as well as for biologics therapeutics production. Here, we take a closer look at mycoplasma contamination and problematic cell lines.

On December 31, 2019, the first cases of a novel coronavirus were identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Here, we curate a collection of news and content related to what has become the COVID-19 pandemic.

When it comes to analyzing cells in a lab setting, flow cytometry is a widely used and comprehensive single-cell analysis method. This article outlines what flow cytometry is, how it works, the different types that exist, how data are analyzed, and what the future holds for flow cytometry.

Historically, efforts to target the substance P (SP) neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), for the treatment of pain have failed. These studies had one critical flaw, whilst they were targeting the right receptor, they were focusing on the wrong location.

Proteomics is the study of the proteome—investigating how different proteins interact with each other and the roles they play within the organism. This comprehensive article reviews the principles of proteomics, technologies adopted to study the proteome, and the applications of this research field.
