Frozen in time, RNA cellular snapshots can reveal the health, diet, and behaviors of extinct animals at time of death. In A ...

Vertebrates have extremely different brain sizes: even with the same body size, brain size can vary a hundredfold. As a rule, mammals and birds have the largest brains in relation to their body size, ...

Using animals to research potentially life-saving treatments for humans is a necessary part of the scientific process, though progress has been made in reducing the number of animals involved.

The main challenge for in vivo imaging is that signals become distorted by scattering and absorption, especially in deeper tissues, and so it's difficult to identify where the light originated. Most ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

Thermo Scientific TM Amira-Avizo TM Software is an advanced, influential 3D segmentation and visualization software package. Fast processing of complex data sets and an extensive set of 3D modeling ...
