Following on from their groundbreaking 3D printed corneas, a team of researchers at Newcastle University have developed a technique to create self-forming corneas. The team now intend to take the work forward to refine the technique to produce corneas for human implant.

This animation explores several of the latest therapeutic approaches that aim to tap into this self-healing capacity.

What are introns and why are our genes full of them? This film explores some of the proposed explanations for introns being so common in DNA.

Oxford Nanopore Technologies has developed nanopore-based DNA and RNA sequencing technology designed to provide on-demand biological information, to any person, in any environment.

To understand how vaccines work, it helps to look first at how the immune system works. This short animation explains how vaccines enable the body to make the right sort of antibodies to fight a particular disease.

This animation depicts how Cas13—a CRISPR-associated protein—may be adapted to detect human disease. This new diagnostic tool, called SHERLOCK, targets RNA (rather than DNA), and has the potential to transform research and global public health.

Having been in the Laboratory Informatics and LIMS Consulting business for quite some time, we at CSols, Inc. have been exposed to many myths and misconceptions. While there may be a small kernel of truth to some of these, for the most part these statements do not hold water. In this video, we listed out the top five myths and “Bust” them.

Watch how the jiggling motion of bacterial DNA stops when a natural antimicrobial peptide permeates the E. coli membrane. This novel mechanism helps explain why bacteria develop resistance very slowly and may inform the design of new antimicrobial agents.

Genomic sequencing is a process for analyzing a sample of DNA taken from your blood. In the lab, technicians extract DNA and prepare it for sequencing.

Over-the-counter pregnancy tests give potentially life-changing results with a pretty high rate of accuracy. But how do they work? Watch this video to find out.
