Electronic pipettes offer several benefits, but many laboratories are still resistant to making the switch from manual options. This article discusses how equipping your team with electronic pipettes could rapidly pay for itself.

The 11th-hour passage of The FDA Modernization Act gave a much-needed boost to the advocates of new alternative methods (NAMs) for preclinical testing. In this article, we take a look at why NAMs are needed and what the new legislation means for pharmaceutical companies.

Much research has focused on the gut microbiome, but we also carry microbes in other bodily parts, including the respiratory tract, skin and genitalia. How do other microbiomes, beyond the gut, develop during infancy, and can factors such as delivery method affect their development? Technology Networks interviewed Dr. Wouter de Steenhuijsen Piters to find out.

This article explores new workflows using data-driven modeling to improve culture medium and new control algorithms allowing for better modulation within the bioprocess design space.

Structural biology uses a variety of techniques to determine the 3D structures of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and their complexes. In this article, we consider the key techniques, their role in structural biology, strengths and limitations.

Variation is a powerful force in biology. This article explores the importance of moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches and towards diversifying cell lines and clinical trials.

Some stories of history are written in ink, and others are written in nucleotide bases. Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis – the study of DNA from archaeological or paleontological specimens – is perhaps the closest scientists will ever come to a time machine – a window into the past. In this feature article, we explore how inclusion and representation are critical considerations when we look through that window.

In this article, we consider what structural biology tells us and the techniques used to investigate it, the role of computation and how techniques can be used together to answer questions in a range of application areas.

This article will highlight some of the selective pressures that can shape viral evolution, focusing on human parainfluenza virus (HPIV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

With the world of science rapidly evolving, and a new year beginning, we look at the trends breaking through right now, asking experts: where is the world of science headed?
