Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The ...

Profiling the proteins that cells are making is a staple of studies in biology, neuroscience and related fields because the proteins a cell is expressing at a given moment can reflect the functions ...

A new, label-free method for identifying aged human cells has been developed. Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University (Japan) have created a new way of telling ‘aged’ human cells apart from ...

Uniform protein labeling in intact tissues is a challenge. An approach that allows antibodies to seep within organs could label proteins in millions of cells. Conventional protein-tagging methods, ...

A mouse brain hemisphere stained with various cell type makers: neurons overall (cyan), and cells specifically involved with neurotransmitters dopamine (yellow) and acetylcholine (magenta). A new ...
