A team of researchers led by Harvard University scientists has improved the laboratory process of converting stem cells into insulin-producing beta cells, using biological and physical separation...

New method opens unexplored realms for liquid biopsies A new approach to RNA sequencing reveals thousands of previously inaccessible RNA fragments in blood plasma that might serve as disease- and organ-specific biomarkers Advancing technology is allowing scientists increasingly to search ...

In a new study, Yale Cancer Center scientists have demonstrated a powerful method to analyze how tumor cells are altered as they metastasize, or spread, to the brain. The research, published in the journal Cell Reports, may eventually improve early diagnosis and treatment ...

A new technique called ECCITE-seq, developed by scientists at the New York Genome Center’s (NYGC) Technology Innovation Lab (@NYGCtech), allows researchers to perform high-throughput measurements of multiple modalities of information from single cells. The technique, ECCITE-seq, published today in Nature Methods, stands ...

A team of McMaster University researchers has discovered a unique subset of cells within human stem cells that appear to signal how the surrounding cells will develop and grow.The discovery of...

An eight-year hunt for the cells that drive the extreme childhood food allergy eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has identified a potential new...

Scientists in the Sloan Kettering Institute have combined powerful laboratory and computational techniques to analyze the earliest moments of mouse development. The results could help explain why cancers form more commonly in certain places than in others. To a developmental biologist, animal ...

New research from Marshall University links walnut consumption as a contributing factor that could suppress growth and survival of breast cancers. Led by W. Elaine Hardman, Ph.D., a professor in the...

A team of scientists has utilized new technologies for mapping gene expression that provide a fuller picture of the mechanisms that contribute to...

Prospective assessments of 2 RNA sequencing inflammatory signature scores, an 18-gene T-cell–inflamed gene expression profile (GEP), as well as a 37-gene tissue-resident memory (TRM) T-cell...
