When we designed the small animal holding facility in 2012, we were solving a problem most facility planners preferred to defer: what happens when research needs change, but the walls cannot move? At ...

How a Chicago educator uses food to teach science thanks to Pilot Light, a local chef-led nonprofit
At least once a month, Rita Leary incorporates food into a science lesson at Ashburn Community Elementary School. On a recent Thursday, it was all about honey. Sticky, sweet, viscous, ...
The grant will fund a new observatory at the University of Vermont to help scientists research and better understand how ...
Every cell in your body is running on tiny power stations. Mitochondria turn energy from food into ATP, the molecule that powers almost everything cells do. How they achieve such efficiency remains ...
Scientists discovered a population of cells that can start the process of programmed cell death, survive it, and then help rapidly rebuild damaged tissue. Their descendants become far more resistant ...
During antibody responses, germinal centers (GCs) act as a key site for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and affinity maturation of B cells. However, their lymphoid tissue localization has made ...
UK startup PhytoFoundry is emerging from stealth with plans to produce high-value bioactives via plant cell culture. Incorporated in June 2026, PhytoFoundry is initially targeting premium cosmetics ...
Researchers have developed a new way to install millions of human brain cells into mice, as a way of creating better scientific models for studying neurodegenerative disease. Using genetic tools, the ...
Multiple cameras tracked a mouse as it wandered around a small arena. A computer charted its position and speed, leaving Pong-like traces on a monitor. The reason to watch this rodent so carefully?
In recent years, there has been a lot of excitement about the potential for studying human diseases in what are called “organoids.” These small patches of tissue, formed using stem cells, appear to ...
Scientists have made mice with a remarkable amount of room for human brain tissue to grow. By genetically engineering animals lacking part of their brain, researchers created a living model in which ...
Lab-grown organoids wire into mice missing a key part of their brain, offering a new way to test drugs for developmental conditions. Human brain tissue transplanted into mice that lack a key part of ...
