Description: The density of cells in the human brain defies imagination. Among the cellular throng, neurons garner much of the credit for brain function. Viewed under the microscope, however, slices of brain tissue are crisscrossed by swarms of cells of varying shapes. Collectively called glia, these cells enrobe neurons, embrace blood...

Publication Date: 2016-08-03

Description: Stephen Quake’s foray into molecular diagnosis began as a discomfiting personal experience. As he watched his pregnant wife undergo invasive diagnostic tests before the birth of his children, Quake came to grips with the startling risks posed by the procedures. Before long, he devised an ingenious workaround: a method to...

Publication Date: 2016-04-06

Description: When Karl Deisseroth, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, recently set out to improve a trusty molecular tool for finessing the activity of brain cells in living animals, he had nary a clue that nature had long-anticipated his fastidious feat of engineering. Deisseroth, whose name has become nearly metonymous with optogenetics,...

Publication Date: 2016-01-06

Description: From photosynthesis to cellular respiration, proton-coupled electron transfer lies at the heart of many reactions that build and sustain our environment. The process, which involves the movement of charge to or from a particular molecule or substrate, occurs in reduction-oxidation reactions. As late as the mid-1990s, when Sharon Hammes-Schiffer began...

Publication Date: 2015-06-24

Description: In the past two decades, with the advent of the Internet, the ubiquity of data generation and collection, and the prevalence of microarray and related “-omic” technologies, Robert Tibshirani’s work developing statistical tools has gained importance. The origins of his research can be partly traced to August 1998, when Tibshirani...

Publication Date: 2016-08-24

Description: Biology involves many reactions of oxidation and reduction that move electrons from one site to another in electron-transfer steps. At a fundamental level, organisms use electron transfer to shuttle energy. Photosynthesis, corrosion, and electronic devices operate through basic electron-transfer processes. Abraham Nitzan, a chemist at the University of Pennsylvania and...

Description: From soft, stretchable biosensors that move naturally with the human body, to transient, biocompatible electronics that dissolve after use, John Rogers’ inventions seem to have sprung out of science fiction. He has received both a MacArthur Genius Grant and the Lemelson–Massachusetts Institute of Technology Prize for inventors and holds more...

Publication Date: 2016-08-24

Description: The chromosomes that make up eukaryotic genomes consist of a complex of DNA, RNA, and proteins called chromatin. Chromatin occurs in two forms: euchromatin, a loosely packaged form that is poised for transcription, and heterochromatin, a tightly packaged, transcriptionally repressed form. By determining which genes are expressed, heterochromatin influences cell...
