Their personal paths in science - Nature Methods

1 week ago | nature.com | Vivien Marx

Scientists face many pressures, plenty of which are about identity. Researchers draw strength from within and from allies.
Vector choices, vector surprises - Nature Methods

Feb 17, 2025 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

Vectors can be the ultimate vehicle for transporting material into cells. Except when they’re not so ultimate. Vectors can surprise in good and, sometimes, bad ways. These tools, which can be modified viruses, are in broad use in life science labs. They ferry materials into cells, which may be DNA fragments, genes or in the case of CRISPR, components such as a guide RNA and a Cas enzyme.
The value of lab values - Nature Methods

Feb 17, 2025 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

These researchers put their labs’ philosophies into practice and find it empowers science and collaboration.
Taking control with RNA - Nature Methods

Feb 4, 2025 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

As they study the emerging roles of RNA in disease and homeostasis, some scientists use RNA editing to direct precise RNA changes that shape cellular events. Since he started his lab nearly 15 years ago, Stanford University geneticist and RNA biologist Jin Billy Li has been exploring an endogenous process in metazoan cells called RNA editing, along with ways to harness it to target and manipulate RNAs inside human cells.
Living the life emerita/emeritus - Nature Methods

Jan 15, 2025 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

Shifting gears in the latter part of one’s career is, for some, a way to do science differently.
Can stem cells save the animals? - Nature Methods

Jan 13, 2025 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

Scientists in stem cell and conservation biology are exploring how they might rescue endangered species, and perhaps even de-extinct some. From cell to genetically diverse population is a trek. Sudan died in 2018. He was the last male northern white rhino on Earth. Najin and her daughter Fatu might enjoy their grassy meals and frequent naps in the shade even more if they had company beyond the armed guards who watch over them 24/7 in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya.
Conference networking: posters, talks, conversations - Nature Methods

Jan 1, 2025 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

At the American Society of Human Genetics’ annual meeting in Denver, some attendees shared how they network at conferences.
Editor’s pick: Gate Bioscience - Nature Biotechnology

Nov 19, 2024 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

Each year, Nature Biotechnology highlights companies that have received sizeable early-stage funding in the previous year. Gate Bioscience wants to tailor gates that stop problematic proteins at the source.
First-timers at a huge meeting - Nature Methods

Nov 18, 2024 | nature.com | Vivien Marx

At some meetings, one gets to know all attendees. But at large conferences, that’s rather impossible. Some first-time attendees share how they navigated the sizable Society for Neuroscience annual meeting.
