Lab of the Future – News and Features

Scientists have identified a key molecular trigger that facilitates the production of red blood cells, potentially accelerating the development of artificial blood.

Study identifies proximity-based mechanism behind LAG-3 inhibition and introduces novel bispecific antibody for autoimmune intervention.

UCLA scientists found that in early retinitis pigmentosa, rod bipolar cells in mice rewire to connect with cones, preserving partial vision. This plasticity occurs in response to degeneration, not light loss.

Researchers in Japan created a precise method to simulate blood flow in brain aneurysms using partial MRI data. By focusing only on the aneurysm region, they reduced computational demands while increasing accuracy.

A new, fully autonomous robotic system aims to speed up the discovery of new semiconductor materials by improving the speed at which researchers can measure important material properties.

Explore how multiomics research combines genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics to offer new insights in disease modeling and therapeutic advancements.

A new study, published in The BMJ, examines the far-reaching effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing significant increases in mental health disorders, malaria-related deaths, and heart disease in certain populations.

Researchers at Cardiff University created the first stem cell platform based on Alzheimer’s polygenic risk scores. Using cells from 100 individuals, the resource enables study of genetic risk factors in brain cells.

A new neural network system is helping scientists to identify meaningful patterns between gut bacteria, their metabolites and human health.

A Swedish twin study shows that genetics explain up to 70% of infant crying duration by 5 months of age. While sleep disruptions and settling time are more influenced by environment early on, genetics play a growing role over time.
