In a recently published study, researcher describe a 3D electrode array that allows them to map the locations and activity of up to 1 million potential synaptic links in a living brain.

Scientists have developed a new tool that can measure the proteins produced by individual types of brain cells to monitor brain plasticity.

Researchers have developed a method to swiftly identify natural products from bacteria using a laboratory automation system called iBioFAB, which could lead to the development of new antibiotics.

Differences in the structure and function of neurons could explain why the human brain has enhanced processing power when compared to other mammals.

Scientists have invented a way to observe bacteria in 3D environments and found that as they grow, their colonies consistently form rough shapes resembling a branching head of broccoli, much more intricate than forms typically seen in a flat dish.

Researchers have developed a strategy to noninvasively track macrophages within brain and breast tumors in living mice.

Two drugs that inhibit precancerous cell progression have been shown to reverse a process that precedes pancreatic cancer, hopefully enabling earlier treatment for the disease.

Some cosmetics and personal care products labeled as having fluorinated components have been found also to contain PFAS, whether or not these “forever chemicals” were listed as ingredients.
