A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

Single-cell RNA transcriptomics allows researchers to broadly profile the gene expression of individual cells in a particular tissue. This technique has allowed researchers to identify new subsets of ...

Researchers from MIT’s Department of Biology have developed a new computational method called FragFold, which shows promise for advancing biological research and therapeutic applications. The newly ...

In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

A team of scientists have developed a new method that enables them to make precise edits in multiple locations within a cell -- all at once. Using molecules called retrons, they created a tool that ...
