(Nanowerk News) Currently, many diseases are diagnosed from blood tests that look for one biomarker (such as a protein or other small molecule) or, at most, a couple of biomarkers of the same type.

Janelia researchers developed an innovative new technique – cycleHCR -- that uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single cells within thick biological ...

Immunoediting (the process by which cancer cells evade the immune system) results when cancer cells that are more immunogenic are selectively eliminated, resulting in a population of less-immunogenic ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

In the mid-1990s, Hiroyuki Nakai, now an adeno-associated virus (AAV) researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, moved to the United States. Nakai quickly became fascinated with the ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...
