Single-cell analyses reveal that PTSD doesn’t only leave scars on neurons but on other cells in the brain too. Image credit:© Istock, PeopleImages Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often associated with depression, substance use disorder, and a higher risk for suicide. Since PTSD was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in…
Blood-based plasma proteomics offers insights into systemic biology, but sample degradation can obscure critical signals. Preanalytical issues, such as delayed plasma processing, platelet activation, or hemolysis, may hinder reproducibility. Proteomics researchers need solutions that help stabilize blood samples to preserve analytes at the point of collection and maintain sample integrity across workflows. Download this white…
Using confocal microscopy, the researchers imaged a nine-day-old human embryo on their 3D platform. OCT4 (green) and GATA6 (magenta) staining indicated normal developmental progression. DAPI (blue) and phalloidin (red) staining marked the nuclei and actin cytoskeleton, respectively. Scale bar corresponds to 100µm.

Cell line development continues to face technical and operational hurdles in transfection, clone selection, and media optimization. Manual screening, extended culture timelines, and fragmented data systems hinder consistency and scalability. Digital platforms and automation help researchers reduce bottlenecks, improve traceability, and accelerate progress from research to production. Download this ebook to learn about Streamlining stable…
In the summer of 2013, NASA’s Curiosity rover celebrated its first birthday inside a dusty red Martian crater, more than 100 million miles away from home. To mark its one-year landing anniversary, scientists programmed Curiosity to vibrate at frequencies corresponding to the notes of the “Happy Birthday” song. NASA launched the Curiosity rover in November…
Researchers study how de novo genes may play significant roles in evolution, biology, and disease. Image credit:Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics and Genomics at The Rockefeller University De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified…
This webinar will be hosted live and available on-demand Tuesday, September 23rd, 202511:00 am – 12:00 PM When confirming antibody concentrations, sizing up proteins, or seeking the perfect formulation for a next-gen biologic, traditional approaches leave researchers tied to the lab bench for way too long. One-by-one quantification and sizing methods suck up time and…
Brain-computer interface decoded imagined speech in real time, restoring communication to patients with paralysis. Image credit:© Istock, asbe There’s a voice inside most people’s minds that comes alive when they listen, read, or prepare to speak. This “internal monologue” is thought to support complex cognitive processes like working memory, logical reasoning, and motivation.1 In fact,…
