Single-Cell Analysis – News and Features

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.

Microglia have been found in the peripheral nervous system and their role in regulating neuronal size throughout evolution uncovered.

A new computational tool can pinpoint cells that promote health or disease, categorizing thousands of cells into biologically distinct groups.

USC Viterbi researchers have engineered a new immune cell that, when activated by ultrasound, can continuously sense and destroy cancer cells for extended periods.

Lipid accumulation in tumor cells and nearby immune cells promotes immune suppression and therapy resistance in triple-negative breast cancer.

By using advanced mapping technologies, scientists have created a detailed “atlas” of stomach tumors, revealing hidden patterns in how cancer cells behave, evolve and interact with their environment

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