Epigenetics is poised to transform agricultural research by potentially enabling more targeted and sustainable livestock breeding strategies. By examining patterns of DNA methylation and oth...
A venous blood gas is a powerful tool for the assessment and monitoring of animals with urgent or emergent conditions. It requires a very small volume of blood, making it feasible in the sma...
Numerous biomedical applications have been described for liver-humanized mouse models, such as in drug metabolism or drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, the strong enlargement of t...
One of the primary limitations in drug discovery and toxicology research is the lack of good model systems between the single cell level and animal or human systems. This is especially true...
The effects of spaceflight on those beneficial microbes that associate with animal tissues is an emerging area in space biology, however, many questions persist regarding how homeostasis bet...
Digital SPR (dSPR) is a next-generation technology for characterizing biomolecular interactions. By combining digital microfluidics (DMF) with localized SPR (LSPR), digital SPR systems can e...
Speech neuroprostheses have the potential to restore communication to people living with paralysis, but naturalistic speed and expressivity are elusive. Here we use high-density surface reco...
Behaving animals continually reconcile the internal states of their neural circuits brain-wide with incoming sensory and environmental evidence to evaluate when and how to act. The brains of...
