Nuts and Bolts

The Nuts and Bolts section welcome methods-oriented manuscripts, that address technical aspects of general interest and focus on timely matters of interest for the scientific community.

This is also a place where investigators can post technical or methodological questions, and where others can provide answers. For example, if you want to do a motility assay and are not familiar with how to do them you can post the question and anyone who wishes to provide help can respond on the website. We appreciate that it is a time-consuming service to provide such information, and we will do our best to see that all technical comments or discussions on a technical point find their way into the JCCS. For more information, please contact J. Castellot or B. Perbal.
