Single-Cell Analysis – News and Features

In this interview, Dr. Elizabeth Neumann discusses her journey into science, her research utilizing single-cell analysis and her commitment to mentorship and advocacy.

In the early stages of spastic paraplegia, the brain appears to play a major role by over-activating the immune system, as shown by a recent study. These findings could also be relevant for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.

New research has uncovered the cellular culprit behind age-related abdominal fat, revealing why waistlines expand in middle age and offering new targets for therapies.

MIT researchers demonstrated that 40Hz sensory stimulation improves cognition, hippocampal activity and neurogenesis in Down syndrome mice. The study, using synchronized light and sound, revealed increased gene expression linked to synapse formation

A longitudinal atlas of neuroblastoma, a common and deadly childhood cancer, could uncover the precise molecular mechanisms underlying why and how certain treatments eventually become ineffective.

A study reveals that guinea pigs can serve as a robust model for understanding human pre-implantation development. Their similarities to humans in early embryogenesis open new avenues for infertility research and reproductive technologies.

The detection of peripheral neural stem cells could transform the treatment of Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries.

Researchers from Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and India have assembled the world's first Asian Immune Diversity Atlas – a multi-national survey of human blood at single-cell resolution.

A new study provides insights into Tourette syndrome by analyzing individual brain cells. Researchers found key changes, including a loss of interneurons, metabolic stress in medium spiny neurons, and increased inflammatory activity in microglia.

A recent study found that placenta-derived IL1α under hypoxic conditions, can greatly increase growth of human stem cell-derived liver organoids. This method offers a promising route to improve organoid models and regenerative medicine.
