Whether in mice or macaques, disease modeling traditionally has been a tedious and expensive affair, not to mention unreliable.

Lipids have traditionally been among the hardest biomolecules to study, but new technologies and techniques are gradually revealing more of the lipidome.

Immortalized cell lines are critical for biomedical research, but establishing new lines can be tricky and frustrating.

Until relatively recently, the power of molecular biology was at once vast and limited.

The youngest sibling in the family of 'omics fields is growing up.

For researchers looking for more stable, searchable, and sharable records, digital options such as electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are readily available.

In the life sciences, data can come in many forms, including information about genomic sequences, molecular pathways, and different populations of people.

A scientist's ability to visualize the intricate details of their experimental model depends upon their microscope's capabilities.

Researchers studying rare variant biomarkers often find themselves on the lookout for faint genetic signals against an overwhelming background, sometimes as little as a single positive in 100,000 negatives or more.

Pharmaceutical researchers live with a recurring nightmare.
