Studying the complex motility patterns of cells and microorganisms is key to understanding their behaviors and biomechanics. However, many conventional microscopes are constrained by fixed lenses and the lack of ability to track organisms over […]

Bumblebees have a great capacity to navigate despite their small brain size. This is borne out of new research conducted at Lund University in Sweden. The research results can potentially benefit the development of navigation […]

Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new method for detecting fungicide resistance, enabling them to detect multiple mutations, both known and novel, in just one test.This article was […]

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have established a new optogenetic approach that can control the bacterial production of proteins at the mRNA level using blue light. The new system gates the activation of the […]

Form follows function, and this is especially true for life’s building blocks—proteins. The folds and shape of molecular proteins reveal their function in supporting life.This article was originally published here

The review paper “CRISPR Beyond: Harnessing Compact RNA-Guided Endonucleases for Enhanced Genome Editing,” authored by Feizuo Wang from National University of Singapore, presents a comprehensive examination of the advancements in CRISPR-Cas technologies. Their collective expertise […]

A research project led by the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems has been successfully completed and provides an excellent basis for further projects. The team, led by Prof. Christoph Wiesner from the Institute of […]

By modifying a plant intracellular immune receptor (NLR), researchers have developed a potential new strategy for resistance to rice blast disease, one of the most important diseases threatening global food security. The collaborative team from […]

A new technique developed by McGill researchers for mechanically manipulating stem cells could lead to new stem cell treatments, which have yet to fulfill their therapeutic potential.This article was originally published here

A new technique developed by researchers from Macquarie University and the California Institute of Technology could allow scientists to more safely alter the genetic makeup of wild populations. The study is published in the journal […]
