Profiling the Microbial Communities of Brooks Cave in Pennington County, South Dakota

Studies on cave bacteria have been a valuable research area in both geology and biology, providing insights into the evolution of antibiotic resistance, the role of microbes in cave formation, and the impact of human travel on cave environments. In this study, the authors investigated the microbial communities in Brooks Cave, a perched lake in… Continue reading Profiling the Microbial Communities of Brooks Cave in Pennington County, South Dakota

Taking Insect Immunity to the Single-Cell Level

This research paper used the RNAssist’s vivoPHIX™ system to examine the intricacies of insect innate immunity. Sarah Merkling et al., aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the immune responses in insects at the level of specific organs and cell populations, with the goal of improving our overall knowledge of tissue- or cell-specific immune processes… Continue reading Taking Insect Immunity to the Single-Cell Level
