Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) can help scientists determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins in unprecedented detail. Jacques Dubochet, former group leader at EMBL, shared the 2017 ...

Human skin samples for microbiome analysis are traditionally collected using a non-invasive swabbing method. Here, we compared the differences in bacterial community structures on scalp hair and ...

Associations between the human gut microbiome and health outcomes continues to be of great interest, although fecal sample collection methods which impact microbiome studies are sometimes neglected.

The proteins that make up our cells hold within an entire world of information, which, when unlocked, can give us insights into the origins of many essential biological phenomena. This information is ...

Stanford University researchers have developed a computational method for identifying where cells are situated in a sample when capturing spatial transcriptomics. The method combines data from spatial ...

To develop effective food control systems, regulatory bodies and laboratories in Member States must have the capability to apply sound sampling schemes and analytic methods. Our efforts focus on the ...

Laser-driven thermoviscous flows provide contact-free rotation, transport or stabilization of delicate samples such as ...

Precise protein quantification is a crucial step in workflows involving protein extraction, isolation, and analysis. Accurate knowledge of the concentration of your protein sample is essential for ...

Mg isotope compositions of some typical geological standard samples measured by the DS method and the SSB method in different laboratories. The sample-standard-bracketing (SSB) method and double-spike ...
