A hypothetical model to understand how “touch” is represented in the brain.

Ottoline Leyser, Director of the Sainsbury Laboratory, University of Cambridge writes for the Conversation on the flaws behind a new ruling by the European Court of Justice that reclassifies genetic modification as any technique that induces genetic changes “in a way that does not occur naturally”.

We spoke to Andrew Howley from Adventure Scientists,a pioneering not-for-profit organization that seeks to unite skilled adventurers with scientists keen to receive valuable data from remote areas, to learn more about the initiative and the impact their projects are having in the scientific community and beyond.

A western blot is supposed to give you information on true experimental conditions or differences between samples. It is instrumental for the detection of proteins in research discovery and biopharma. In this article, we will be explaining the two main western blotting normalization methods; the older housekeeping protein method and the newer TPN method.

A combination of THCA and CBGA can interact synergistically to cause distinct gene expression, induction of cell cycle arrest, and apoptotic cell death in colon cancer cells.

If you work in science, chances are you spend upwards of 50% of your time analyzing data in one form or another.However, it's easy to get lost when it comes to the question of what techniques to apply to what data. This is where data mining comes in - put broadly, data mining is the utilization of statistical techniques to discover patterns or associations in the datasets you have. Here we provide an overview of the critical steps you'll need to get the most out of your data analysis pipeline.

Once shunted to the side by investment in other omics, lipidomics has seen increasing interest from biotech and pharma companies in recent years. Here, we explore the technology and ingenuity powering this lipid revolution.

Estimating the time of death is one of the most important and challenging tasks in a forensic investigation. Therefore a laboratory method based on a robust biomarker would help to improve the reliability of time of death analysis.

This article aims to highlight the key types of epigenetic modification, summarize current and emerging drug discovery efforts to target epigenetic dysregulation and will discuss some of the benefits and challenges of epigenetic therapeutics.

A new study into the development of diabetes suggests that individuals – even those who consider themselves healthy – might need to pay more attention to their blood sugar.
