The fibers are hair-like protein filaments called “pili” that have the unique property of transporting charges at speeds of 1 billion electrons per second

Researchers have discovered that these polarity genes, which do more than create cowlicks, are regulated by a tumor suppressor protein

Berkeley Lab scientists make major advance in understanding a basic process of life

A new method to control the activity of neurons in mice, devised by scientists at Rockefeller University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, uses magnetic forces to remotely control the flow of ions into specifically targeted cells.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln chemists partnered with medical researchers from the National University of Singapore to develop a molecule that can inhibit an enzyme linked with the onset of stroke

A technique called acoustic force spectroscopy uses standing sound waves in a fluid channel to tug on DNA and other biomolecules in a precise and easily controllable way, revealing information about the molecules' structure and mechanical properties

Tübingen researchers match bullets to wounds using organ-specific protein signatures found on projectiles

Digital PCR (dPCR) is a gene amplification method particularly suited to detecting and quantifying rare genes.

Researchers were able to use mini-barcodes containing only about 30 per cent of the standard DNA barcode

Stephen Bustin, PhD talks about the persisting problem of lack of transparency and reliability in current PCR data.
