An interview with Lindy O’Clair, Head of Incucyte^® Product Management at Sartorius

3D cell models like spheroids and organoids are transforming the way we study complex biological processes—but they…

A new study has identified genetic variants linked to brain function, immune defense and metabolism that contribute to the development of frailty in older people. The study, published in Nature Aging by researchers from Karolinska…

The evolutionary success of our species may have hinged on minute changes to our brain biochemistry after we diverged from the lineage leading to Neanderthals and Denisovans about half a million years ago. 

Two of these tiny…

Gram-negative bacteria pose a significant threat to global health due to their high resistance to antibiotics compared to that of Gram-positive bacteria. Their formidable defensive capabilities stem from their outer membrane (OM),…

Unlike most cells in the human body, neurons-the functional cells of our nervous system-cannot typically replace themselves with healthy copies after being damaged. 

Rather, after an injury from something like a stroke, concussion…

FFA4 signals through G_i/o on HEK293 intracellular membranes

Whereas FFA4 was originally thought to be primarily coupled to G_q/11 (refs. ^12,13), recent studies in undifferentiated cells have additionally revealed G_i/o coupling^11,14,15, which could…
