Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Identification of leukemia-initiating cells by transcriptome profiling in a mouse model
Transcriptome profiling and identification of leukemia-initiating cells in a mouse model expressing the fusion gene CBFB-MYH11, which results from chromosome 16 inversion, a common chromosome abnormality in human acute myeloid leukemia.
Designing next-generation norepinephrine indicators for in vivo imaging
We engineered a novel family of genetically-encoded fluorescent norepinephrine indicators in green and red. These indicators exhibit exceptional sensitivity, ligand-specificity, and temporal resolution, surpassing prior indicators and enabling the detection of norepinephrine in living animals.
Attitude roots and psychological traits of anti-vaccination argument endorsement
What motivates people to support anti-vaccination rhetoric? We investigate the attitude roots and personality profiles of those who are more likely to endorse arguments against vaccination, and find distinct clusters of traits which can inform vaccine communication strategies.
