will enable scientists

(Indiana University) Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have developed Laboratree, a web-based solution to the complex problems of scientific collaboration.

Laboratree will enable scientists to securely manage research papers and data, organize groups and projects, send group messages, author blogs, and customize personal and group profiles -- all online.

A new technique that marries a fast-moving laser beam with a special microscope that look at tissues in different optical planes will enable scientists to get a 3-D view of neurons or nerve cells as they interact, said Baylor College of Medicine scientists in a report that appears in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
