Conventional transcriptomic techniques have revealed much about gene expression at the population and single-cell level—but they overlook one crucial factor: spatial context. In musculoskeletal ...

Challenges and Prospects. Challenges and prospects faced by spatial transcriptomics itself and its application to the musculoskeletal system. AI Artificial intelligence, FFPE Formalin fixed and ...

Researchers have produced the first complete map of smell receptors in the mouse nose, revealing a highly organized arrangement rather than random distribution. The study, published in Cell, used ...

Researchers released the first detailed map of smell receptors in the nose, organized into horizontal stripes that mirror the brain.

The brain is an extremely heterogeneous tissue. Within one small piece, there are neurons transmitting information, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes acting as support cells and microglia functioning as ...

Knowing the location of a gene within intact tissue or a single cell allows scientists to unlock unknown cellular functions. This information is often lost in most genetic sequencing techniques, but ...

Spatial biology is reshaping how researchers study cancer by revealing the architecture and complexity of tumors in extraordinary detail. Through techniques that combine protein- and gene-level ...

A whole developing wheat spike, 1mm scale. The blue represents fluorescent staining for DNA withing the nuclei. There are different coloured spots showing gene expression detected using the probes in ...
