How one scientist is growing miniature brains in her lab
LMB neuroscientist Madeline Lancaster generates living models of brains from a few stem cells. In her lab, she takes small samples of stem cells and grows them in careful conditions. When they grow, what develops is a single-function bit of the brain, not at all a full human brain but a small, specific part of […]
Cryo-EM: The field that came in from the cold
Recent advances in electron cryo-microscopy are enabling researchers to solve protein structures at near-atomic resolutions, expanding the biological applicability of this technique. Nature Methods looks at the development of the technique, which includes work by the LMB’s Richard Henderson, Sjors Scheres and Venki Ramakrishnan. More…
