‘Village’ Approach to Transform Stem Cell Research
A powerful new stem cell technique has enabled large-scale studies of the relationship between human genetics and biology
Researchers Develop Rapid Genomics Strategy to Trace Coronavirus
The technological advance has the potential to provide critical, timely clues on how cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection are linked
A Way to 'Fingerprint' Human Cells
The method, called 'scPred,' has the potential to allow earlier detection of cancer, identify the cells at the root of autoimmune disease, and help personalize treatments to individual patients
Key to Targeting the Spread of Pancreatic Cancer
Researchers discovered that some pancreatic tumors produce more of a molecule called 'perlecan' to remodel the environment around them, helping cancer cells spread more easily to other parts of the body
Ancient Epigenetic Changes Silence Cancer-Linked Genes
Recent study sheds new light on how our epigenetics can regulate genes, some of which are linked to cancer development later in life, over large evolutionary distances
