One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

The current numbers of cell types, tissues, and organs are not the upper limits of the model. The assessed cell types to date have come from living human donors and cover most, but not all, cell types ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers in Canada and the United States developed Single-Cell Similarity (SCimilarity), a framework for rapid, interpretable searches of ...
