For biologists, seeing is believing. But sometimes biologists have a hard time seeing. One particularly vexing challenge is seeing all the molecules in an intact tissue sample, down to the level of ...

To accelerate biotechnology innovations, such as the development of lifesaving drug therapies, scientists strive to develop faster, more quantitative and more widely available ways to observe ...

Click chemistry, one of the most exciting and proficient new techniques for labeling biomolecules in vitro, has now been extended to studies in the context of live cells as well. This breakthrough ...

If you were to use infrared (IR) transmission microscopy, you would appreciate its chemical quantification abilities—unless your object of study was a hydrated cell. In that case, you might complain ...

An image of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, lipids and proteins, in live cells using an imaging technique called infrared (IR) transmission microscopy. To accelerate biotechnology innovations, ...

Combining analytical chemistry with machine learning doubled the age of ancient rocks that can be examined for signs of ...

The cell membrane, the wall-like boundary between the cell interior and its outside environment, is primarily made up of two kinds of biomolecules: lipids and proteins. Different lipid species closely ...

In the “omics” world, lipids have long been in the shadows, while nucleic acids and proteins hogged the limelight. But now, this broad-ranging class of biomolecules is stepping into the spotlight as ...

Tapping into the potential of the multi-omic method to uncover functional connections between various classes of biomolecules, researchers from notable institutions in the United States have ...
