Scientists are urging for improved regulation on pesticides after finding that they affect genes in bumblebees, according to research led by Queen Mary University of London in collaboration with Imperial College London. For the first time...

A 290-gene expression signature and IGHV mutation status stratified patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia to identify those with high-risk disease who might benefit from prompt initiation of therapy, according to a study published in Frontiers in Oncology...

A collaborative team from UConn Storrs and The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine characterized neuron diversity in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), a critical coordinator of fundamental...

By applying gene analysis to individual cells from early mouse embryos, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered previously unknown cellular stages of fetal development from fertilised egg to living being. The study...

Nicotine induces widespread adverse effects on human embryonic development at the level of individual cells, researchers report. Single-cell RNA sequencing of human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived embryoid bodies revealed that three weeks of nicotine exposure disrupts cell-to-cell communication, decreases cell ...

Through converging lines of research in stem cell biology, tissue regeneration, and immunity, Sloan Kettering Institute scientists are learning what makes metastatic cancer cells tick. When Karuna Ganesh came to Memorial Sloan Kettering...

The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has approved $147,000 from the Kentucky Equine Drug Research Council fund for a two-year study that aims to develop an affordable test to detect horses that have been given small levels...

For the first time, researchers have revealed the different molecular identities of important immune cells, called T regulatory cells using single cell genomics, in both mouse and human peripheral non-lymphoid tissues such as skin and colon...

A team led by scientists at the Broad Institute, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital has developed a prototype device that uses microfluidics to sort cell types extracted from clinical samples for RNA sequencing. This platform allows us to isolate specific cell...

Modern technology makes it possible to sequence individual cells and to identify which genes are currently being expressed in each cell. These...
