In brief A new microscope blends two imaging approaches to reveal tiny parts of living cells and allow nearly unlimited observation time, without labels. The method provides greater context, allowing…
Water droplets set off a chemical cascade that tells a plant it’s time to blossom, a new study finds. Around the world, plants are flowering earlier in the year than they used to. Climate change seems…
Proteins that start life inside neurons build up faster in old age and spread to other brain cells—a potential source of neurological mischief. As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up…
The development of antibody-lectin chimeras, which started in the lab of Stanford chemist Carolyn Bartozzi, shows promise in blocking the defenses put up by cancer cells and allowing the immune system…
Researchers have developed a breakthrough technique that quantifies energy dissipation in complex, small systems, offering insights into energy use, efficiency, and speed in computers and other…
‘To advance science, I think it’s important to blur the boundaries between the disciplines’ Stanford chemical biologist Carolyn Bertozzi studies sugars on the surface of cells to better understand…
A study led by Stanford and Cornell researchers shows how light could be used to control the behavior of moiré materials, atomically thin layers that gain unusual properties when stacked and offset…
A clinician and scientist collaborate on new methods to diagnose, treat and track celiac disease For Nielsen Fernandez-Becker, MD, PhD, diagnosing celiac disease at times feels like working in the…
Stanford chemical biologist Laura Dassama is on a personal mission to design a simpler, more affordable sickle cell therapy By the time Laura Dassama, PhD, was 5, she had already met the disease that…
