The hydrogel capitalizes on dynamic covalent bonds, creating a reversible platform that can easily release the proteins from their Tupperware box by adding a simple sugar solution. This means vaccines ...

What is next-generation sequencing? Next-generation sequencing (often noted as NGS), describes the high-throughput technologies that can now determine the sequence of a given nucleic acid strand, such ...

What is western blotting? Western blotting (or immunoblotting) is a well-established biochemical technique that detects specific proteins in complex samples and has applications from basic research to ...

Researchers have found that cataract extraction surgery is associated with a 30% lower risk of dementia onset and a particular decrease in Alzheimer’s disease risk. In a recent collaborative study, ...

From expanding an infectious disease assay portfolio to pioneering an imaging system to enhance space biology, here are the products, partnerships and publications that have been announced over the ...

The western blot may appear to be just another staple lab technique. However, there are some stories surrounding its invention that are definitely worth knowing. This might be news to some: scientists ...

The team had to manually stimulate the water robot using hand-held gold electrodes to deliver a charge to each leg, causing the muscle to contract and the robot to ‘take a step’. Depending on the ...

Data included in a pivotal Alzheimer’s study from 2006 may have been fabricated, potentially misleading research for the last 16 years. Physician and neuroscientist Matthew Schrag (Vanderbilt ...

In this edition of the biotech bi-weekly, read about the launch of a next-generation PCR kit, the development of a comprehensive functional genomics platform and the unveiling of a cryo-transmission ...

Using currently available protocols, the quality and yield of RNA extracted from mangrove root tissue is compromised by secondary metabolites, which bind to, and form complexes with, proteins and RNA.
