UMass Amherst chemists have developed a three-color fluorescent method to visualize different mRNA molecules inside living mammalian cells. The approach reduces background noise and enables real-time tracking of RNA behavior.

Researchers have shown that near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy of leaves can reliably reveal a fruit’s ripeness without destructive testing.

UK researchers have developed an infrared-based blood test that can detect a single circulating lung cancer cell. Using FT-IR microspectroscopy and computational analysis, the method identifies cancer-specific chemical fingerprints in blood samples.

UMBC scientists uncovered how enteroviruses initiate replication by assembling a conserved RNA–protein complex inside host cells. The team showed how viral and host proteins bind an RNA cloverleaf to control replication.

A new Swedish innovation uses machine learning and laser scanning to identify contaminated water in just 20 minutes, reducing health risks and improving water safety.

Researchers found that icosahedral viruses deliberately break symmetry using a single chemical bond to control RNA release. This “loaded die” design ensures genetic material exits in one direction, speeding infection.

Scientists at Brown University have developed CaBLAM, a bioluminescent tool that allows long-term, high-resolution imaging of living brain cells without external light.

A study profiling antigens presented on immune and tumor cells in co-culture points to new strategies for attacking a treatment-resistant and deadly brain cancer.

Using human intestinal organoids, scientists uncovered a previously unknown immune function of M cells. By presenting gluten antigens to T cells, these cells may contribute directly to the development of celiac disease.
