Single-Cell Analysis – News and Features

Technology Networks spoke to the most productive researcher in spatial transcriptomics, Professor Joakim Lundeberg, about the field’s rapid growth.

A new study reveals that metformin, beyond managing blood sugar, restores endometrial health in women with PCOS. The drug improves cell adhesion and gene expression in the uterine lining, potentially reducing miscarriage risk and improving fertility.

Successful high-affinity B cells can proliferate under special conditions that reduce the risk of mutation. Capturing this mechanism in the lab may lead to more efficient vaccine strategies in the clinic.

A new study reveals that IL-12, an inflammatory molecule, accelerates Alzheimer’s disease by damaging brain cells and preventing plaque clearance. Blocking IL-12 in mice halted disease-related changes, suggesting a potential new therapy.

Researchers have developed pig retinal organoids to understand how stem cell-derived photoreceptor cells work as a therapeutic.

Researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with other scientists, have discovered a way to enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer by reprogramming T-cell metabolism.

Antigenic variation is a key mechanism by which pathogens evade the immune system. New research has shown how trypanosomes change their antigen expression.

Our circadian clock doesn't just dictate when we sleep – it also determines how quickly our muscles heal, with muscle injuries healing faster when they occur during natural waking hours.

90% of people with obesity have leptin resistance – new research has found a mechanism involved and a way to reverse it using a well-known drug.

UCLA scientists have identified a potential new strategy for treating glioblastoma, the deadliest form of brain cancer, by reprogramming aggressive cancer cells into harmless ones.
