How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...

Plant immunity research has undergone a transformative shift with the advent of spatial and single-cell technologies, ...

Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and spatial multi-omics have transformed our ability to resolve tumor ecosystems at unprecedented resolution.

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...

In this discussion in GEN’s “The State of Multiomics and NGS” virtual summit, originally broadcast on April 23, 2025, Jonah Cool, PhD, Science Program Officer at CZI and Sarah Teichmann, PhD, Research ...

Too much of a good thing is no good at all. Living organisms enjoy sunlight—in fact, they need it to stay alive—but they tend to avoid light that is too bright. Animals go to their shelter, humans ...

Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger ...

A giant, single-celled organism with no brain, neurons, or nervous system has demonstrated an advanced form of learning previously thought impossible for a solitary cell. The organism is Stentor ...
