A collaborative study published in Immunity from the Batista Lab and Liu Lab at the Ragon Institute, together with the Schief ...

When HHMI Investigator Amita Sehgal started studying sleep 25 years ago, the topic elicited a yawn from most biologists. "In ...

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 possible variants—more combinations than atoms in the observable universe.

Cells constantly monitor and recycle their proteins through a tightly regulated waste-disposal system. Proteins that are no ...

Humans develop sharp vision during early fetal development thanks to an interplay between a vitamin A derivative and thyroid hormones in the retina, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found.

An automated, contactless liquid dispensing platform supports precise low-volume workflows, helping laboratories improve efficiency, and integrate flexible automation into modern research environments ...

Cindy Tian of the Department of Animal Science in the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources works in her lab in the Agricultural Biotechnology Laboratory (ABL). Oct. 19, 2022.

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

The brain's ability to carry out everything from forming memories to coordinating movement depends on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

In recent years, scientists have begun to reveal the myriad ways that gut microbes can impact our health; they have identified relationships between bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and the ...
