Fundamental research, in comparison to applied research, is an area of scientific research that focuses on progressing rudimentary scientific theories with the goal of further understanding scientific basics and making educated predictions on observed phenomena.
Humans have a remarkable ability to flexibly interact with the environment. A compelling demonstration of this cognitive flexibility is our ability to perform complex, yet previously un-pract...
Humans interact with their environment in countless ways and can switch seamlessly between activities. Even for seemingly simple tasks, a variety of sensory inputs and contextual cues are int...
The human brain has a remarkable ability to store and retrieve information. Detailed memories can be formed after as little as one exposure, and those memories can be retained for decades. Im...
NIH representatives from the BRAIN Initiative will be presenting an overview of the NIH BRAIN Initiative and describing funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) supporting impacts in human ne...
Cellular research is optimal when using physiologically-relevant cell phenotypes and genotypes of human origin. This assertion has accelerated the adoption of primary cells, stem cells, and i...
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is a biophysical method that sensitively measures real-time conformational change of biomolecules attached to membranes. SHG has recently been applied to dete...

To date the anatomic extent of tumor (TNM-classification) has been by far the most important factors to predict the prognosis of cancer patients. However, this classification provides limited...
With over 265,000 new cases per year and over 50,000 deaths, breast and ovarian cancers represent a significant health burden in the USA. Prior work has demonstrated that CD4 helper T c...
All forms of life require immune systems to stave off infection from viruses and other pathogens. In bacteria and archaea, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) a...
While chemiluminescence has been the traditional approach to western blot detection, this strategy is being progressively supplemented or replaced with fluorescence-based detection. With the...
