A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, ...

The Salk Institute in La Jolla has dropped a massive, cell-by-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain that scientists say could speed research on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The open resource tracks how ...

Andreas Pfenning discusses the techniques being developed and used to study neuronal heterogeneity and the therapeutic potential of his work.

Applying single-cell RNA sequencing has led researchers to be able to profile the entire transcriptome of cells. However, these transcriptomes prove difficult to link back to their original location ...

Biological tissues are made up of different cell types arranged in specific patterns, which are essential to their proper functioning. Understanding these spatial arrangements is important when ...

A single-cell atlas of brain aging epigenetics has mapped methylation, chromatin, and gene activity changes across 36 cell ...

Certain cells in the brain create a nurturing environment, enhancing the health and resilience of their neighbors, while others promote stress and damage. Using spatial transcriptomics and AI, ...

In the brain, location is everything. And the throngs of cells that live there are nothing without the billions of distinct connections between them. Although scientists can use single-cell ...
