A research collaboration between Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) uses machine vision algorithms to track how brain cells, or neurons, develop over time. The team aims to better understand brain cell behavior and identify new therapies for neurological disorders by monitoring how new neurons grow and integrate…
UC Irvine researchers develop bioluminescent RNA for real-time tracking
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine, have developed a method for tagging RNA with a bioluminescent molecule, which enables real-time tracking of RNA as it moves throughout the body. This research, published in Nature Communications, could provide new insights into cellular processes, viral propagation, and memory formation in the brain. RNA is critical in…
