There are several technical challenges that accompany RNA processing research, from multiplexing capabilities to non-processive reverse transcriptases. We dive into a couple of innovative approaches being developed to overcome these challenges. Paul Boutz...

Original story from the University of Cologne (Germany). For the first time, scientists have created a single-cell and spatial transcriptomics framework to investig...

An extraordinary ensemble of microorganisms, found nowhere else on Earth, have been discovered in Antarctica, adding to the southern continent’s mystique and hinting at just how much life is still to be discovered there. Scientists from the Cooperative Institute for...

Phages could be the answer to wiping out persistent UTIs, as demonstrated by a new flow-enabled bladder model. A team led by researchers at University College London (UK) has integrated a novel fluidic platform with a 3D micro-bladder model to more closel...

The famed and outrageous science awards are back; but this year, miss the mark. This year’s Ig Nobel Prizes contain much of the familiar absurdity and genuinely thoughtful and engaging research efforts – how to optimally blow your nose, getting thousands of people involved in science using underpants, using mosquito proboscides as 3D printing nozzles – b...
