Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which both involve chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. IBD affects millions of people and ...

A novel spatial transcriptomics atlas developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists may improve the understanding of niche ...

Applying single-cell RNA sequencing has led researchers to be able to profile the entire transcriptome of cells. However, these transcriptomes prove difficult to link back to their original location ...

Illumina is raising the curtain on its upcoming entry into spatial transcriptomics, with tech designed to help researchers explore cellular behavior mapped across complex tissues. The announcement ...

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 ...

Biological systems are inherently three-dimensional—tissues form intricate layers, networks, and architectures where cells interact in ways that extend far beyond a flat plane. To capture the true ...

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

Spatial-biology tools are collecting more comprehensive data, and companies that want to model cells in silico are hoovering ...
