With the addition of a ligand-sensing aptamer sequence, a self-replicating RNA enzyme system enables general molecular detection, analogous to that of quantitative PCR.
A long-range magnetic resonance imaging platform promises unprecedented capabilities for whole-organ visualization and high-throughput sample analysis.
The rise of 'omics' methods and data-driven research presents new possibilities for discovery but also stimulates disagreement over how science should be conducted and even how it should be defined.
From high-throughput electroporation platforms capable of transfecting thousands of different cells in a day, to nanowires that puncture and deliver DNA to just a single cell, new technology is emerging to help researchers with their changing gene delivery needs.
A microscopy platform that brings magnetic resonance imaging to the nanometer scale offers a promising new tool for three-dimensional molecular visualization.
