Spatial Biology – News and Features

Researchers have discovered that stomach cancers make electrical connections with nearby sensory nerves and use these malignant circuits to stimulate the cancer’s growth and spread.

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory created an aging breast tissue atlas, revealing how genetic and molecular shifts may increase cancer risk. Changes in epithelial, immune and stromal cells create a tumor-friendly microenvironment.

New studies show that bird and mammal brains evolved separately, with distinct genetic programs and developmental mechanisms. Researchers found that these species developed similar functions through different evolutionary paths.

Researchers reveal how MAGE-4 and PTEN loss drive cancer growth, suppress immunity and point to new therapeutic strategies to fight tumors.

Researchers have identified the transfer of mitochondria with mutated DNA from cancer cells to immune cells as a key mechanism of immune evasion and resistance to immunotherapy.

Researchers discover that bone marrow cancer cells diversify drastically when exiting the bone marrow, which also affects the immune cells in the cancer lesions. The new findings could contribute to more precise diagnostics and therapy.

New research has revealed important insights into the activation dynamics of neural stem cells.

A type of aggressive, treatment-resistant brain tumor has a distinct population of immune cells that support its growth, a new study has found.

The HUMANOID Center at UC San Diego is pioneering organoid research aimed at improving the reliability and reproducibility of these models, ultimately increasing drug testing accuracy and revolutionizing biomedical science.

Researchers found that nutrient starvation, not persister cells, helps Salmonella survive antibiotic treatments. Using real-time tracking, they demonstrated that nearly all Salmonella in infected tissues resist antibiotics due to slow growth.
