Philadelphia Coalition for a Cure (PC4C), a newly launched cooperative clinical diagnostics and research initiative announced that it will collaborate in a study together with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) directed to the study and diagnosis of adult and pediatric ...

Mass. General, Broad Institute team finds strong evidence that cancer stem cells are important drivers of tumors in patients A study analyzing brain tumor genomics on a single-cell level has found evidence that cancer stem cells fuel the growth of ...

MAPseq uses RNA sequencing to rapidly and inexpensively find the diverse destinations of thousands of neurons in a single experiment in a single animal Neuroscientists have published in Neuron the details of a revolutionary new way of mapping the brain ...

from Spectrum.com by Ann Griswold – A new tool provides speedy analysis of gene expression patterns in individual neurons from postmortem brain tissue. Researchers have used the method to compare the genetic signatures of more than 3,000 neurons from distant ...

While bipolar disorder is one of the most-studied neurological disorders—the Greeks noticed symptoms of the disease as early as the first century—it’s possible that scientists have overlooked an important part of the brain for its source. Scientists from the Florida ...

A team of researchers has developed the first scalable method to identify different subtypes of neurons in the human brain. The research lays the groundwork for “mapping” the gene activity in the human brain and could help provide a better ...
