Over the past ten years, the human microbiome has attracted a lot of attention due to research suggesting that disturbed bacterial communities are to blame for a variety of illnesses, including irritable bowel syndrome, dermatitis, and autoimmune diseases

The human microbiome has been a hot topic over the last decade, with research pointing to disrupted bacterial communities as culprits for a host of maladies including irritable bowel syndrome, eczema, and autoimmune diseases.

Muscles waste as a result of not being exercised enough, as happens quickly with a broken limb that has been immobilized in a cast, and more slowly in people reaching an advanced age.

Hansjörg Wyss’ fourth gift to the Wyss Institute, $350 million, aims to transform health care and the environment by developing innovative technologies that emulate how nature builds and accelerating their translation into products.

The method, integrated with highly specific CRISPR-based nucleic acid detection technology, could enable simple-to-use, portable and ultra-sensitive...

Get latest articles and stories on Science at LatestLY. A new advance overcomes present limitations in spatial transcriptomics with a DNA nanotechnology-driven method called Light-Seq. Light-Seq allows researchers to geotag the full repertoire of RNA sequences with unique DNA barcodes exclusive to a few cells of interest. These target cells are selected using light under a microscope via a fast and effective photocrosslinking process, and their RNAs made available to next-generation sequencing w...
