The scope of human cell type atlases widened considerably today. Formerly, landscapes of individual cell types were largely confined to single organs. But now, thanks to four single-cell RNA ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the ...

Genetic studies have revealed many genes linked to both common and rare disease, but to understand how those genes bring about disease and use those insights to help develop therapies, scientists need ...

An international team of researchers reached a major milestone in decoding the human genome by linking genes across all chromosome of many individual people to specific tissues and disease processes.

Northwestern University researchers almost three years ago introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe ...

Nucleic acid extraction from biological samples is inherently difficult to execute consistently across different tissue types. Some tissue matrices are fibrous, contained in protective cell walls, or ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers study the "conversations" between cells inside the body. The tools, called ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

Dissociating tissues into single cells is a core laboratory technique and vital for widely used applications such as next-generation sequencing or flow cytometry. Scientists who employ tissue ...
