Full-body defense does not always look the way textbooks say it should. In planarian flatworms, a newly identified cell type ...

Cis-regulatory elements (CREs), including enhancers, silencers, promoters and insulators, play pivotal roles in orchestrating gene regulatory mechanisms that drive complex biological traits. However, ...

Spatial transcriptomics is an emerging technology that can analyze gene expression profiles of tissues while preserving spatial location information. To restore cell type proportions from mixed gene ...

How does each cell type know where to position itself within the lymph node? Until now, the answers to these questions remained unclear for certain immune cell types. A new study from the University ...

The most common method of studying them is called "terminal examination of samples at single-cell levels," which means that scientists can only study particular β-cell subtypes once, and only when ...

Research on preventing type 1 diabetes often focuses on limiting the autoimmune response that destroys the body’s ability to produce its own insulin. A new technology developed by scientists at the ...

"If we want to develop cell culture models for diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and depression, we need to take the specific type of nerve cell involved into consideration." ...

A combination blood stem cell and pancreatic islet cell transplant from an immunologically mismatched donor completely prevented or cured Type 1 diabetes in mice in a study by Stanford Medicine ...
