Researchers have produced multimeric, ultra-sensitive aptamers that have potential in both diagnostic and therapeutic developments.

Autoimmune diseases represent a wide range of disorders affecting specific organs or the entire body, all characterized by the immune system’s misrecognition of self-antigens. These conditions arise ...

Autoimmune diseases are a group of diverse and complex disorders that arise from misrecognition of self-antigens by the immune system. These diseases can involve immune cells, cytokines and protein ...

In this issue of BioTechniques, we present a comparison of four analytical methods for hydrogen sulfide quantification and a method for targeted cell delivery to a hydrogel support structure that can ...

Kit Neikirk discusses his experience as a first-generation college student (FGS) balancing undergraduate college and offers suggestions for both students and institutions to help prepare FGS for a ...

CRISPR-based gene editing just got safer with the design of a new SuperFi-Cas9 variant that more readily discriminates against mismatches and retains the accuracy and speed of naturally occurring Cas9 ...

A couple months ago, Science revealed that an Alzheimer’s research paper from 2006, detailing the toxicity of an amyloid fragment, may have contained fabricated images (read more about it here). We ...

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, ...

What have been the biggest challenges you faced during your career? At every point of the argument, from making arguments with raw data to making arguments with data that takes into account the data ...

In this issue of BioTechniques, we present data from a validation study of a software tool for use in forensic investigative genetic genealogy and a method for producing hydrogel-based ‘transparent ...
