Researchers Are Making an App for That Researchers are creating software to ‘clean’ large datasets, making it easier for scientists and the public to use big data Big data is often messy. Malfunctioning computers, data entry errors, and other hard-to-spot problems can skew datasets and mislead people—everyone from data scientists to data hobbyists—trying to draw conclusions from raw data.

Learn More Lab Health and Safety Safe Enough? As lab managers, you know that laboratories can be dangerous places to work During the past few years there have been a number of very serious laboratory accidents that have resulted in severe injuries, extensive facility damage, and even fatalities. Given the facts, the labs may have been lucky that damages and injuries were not worse.

Yet in conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, cells are grown on flat and rigid substrates that often fail to capture the natural 3D environments present in tissue. Learn more about how 3D cell culture has allowed researchers to overcome the limitations of 2D models. Download the FREE infographic Feature Article Scientists Uncover How Zika Virus Causes Microcephaly The findings are key to unraveling the mysteries of why the Zika virus causes birth defects There are currently 70 countries and territories reporting active Zika transmission, according to the World Health Organization. While a Zika infection typically results in mild or symptom-free infections in healthy adults and children, the risk of microcephaly in the developing fetus is an alarming consequence that has created a worldwide health threat.

Take the Survey Feature Article Researchers Are First to See DNA 'Blink' For decades, textbooks have stated that macromolecules within living cells, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, do not have visible fluorescence on their own Many of the secrets of cancer and other diseases lie in the cell’s nucleus. But getting way down to that level—to see and investigate the important genetic material housed there—requires creative thinking and extremely powerful imaging techniques.
