Single-Cell Multiomics Model Decodes Enhancer Networks in Rare Cell Populations

Understanding gene regulation may be the key to interpreting human disease genetics. Genes are regulated in part by stretches of DNA called enhancers, which define when, where, and how strongly each gene is turned on.

Noninvasive Imaging Framework Enhances Predictions of Higher-Order Human Brain Function

Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a new, noninvasive way to examine how blood flow and cellular organization align across the layers of the living human brain.

Engineered Prime Editing Strategy Integrates Gene-Sized Payloads Into Living Human Genomes

Genomic editing holds great potential yet continues to have its limitations. Most current methods either rely on untargeted gene delivery or short DNA edits that need to be individualized to each patient.

Study Reveals Structural Roughness as Key Factor in Tumor Detachment Dynamics

In 2024, malignant tumors caused more than 21,300 deaths in Austria, 4.7% more than in 2014. Faced with a similarly pressing global challenge, scientists are striving to better understand what drives cancer cells to grow, spread, and invade healthy tissue.

Multi-Omic Integration Reveals Novel Gene-Disease Links in Undiagnosed Rare Conditions

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects of genetic variants, helping to identify diagnoses and potential new disease-causing genes that genome sequencing alone has been unable to resolve.

Advanced Gene Editing Provides Essential Tool for Studying Early Human Embryonic Development

A study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found that new cutting-edge techniques can accurately edit genes in human embryos-giving scientists indispensable tools for understanding normal human development-but has also uncovered important risks that currently preclude the use of the techniques in the clinic.

Computational Chemistry Breakthrough Yields Targeted Molecule for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

Pushing the accelerator and the brake at the same time is rarely a good idea. But researchers at the University of Gothenburg are using this approach to treat leukemia.

UCLA Breakthrough Generates Thousands of Allogeneic T-Cell Doses From Single Cord Blood Sample

T cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt down cancer with precision.

Advanced RNA Sequencing Separates Rare Regenerative Cells From Mature Tissue

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery have discovered the unspecialized stem cells that give rise to the body's tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones.

8 Sep 2026

Macrophages Function as Trash Collectors for Energy-Demanding Tissues

The body's heart muscle (for pumping blood), skeletal muscle (for movement and posture), and brown fat (for heat production), each require a lot of energy and make a lot of waste. And that waste needs to be managed.

Fruit Fly Egg Chambers Reveal Secrets of Collective Cell Movement

Scientists have long wondered how cells that are organized into sheets begin to move together to form organs, especially when the sheets form closed, sphere-like surfaces and tissues with no edges to direct motion.

Optical Metabolic Imaging Profiles Single-Cell Metabolic Fitness in Blood Without Dye Labeling

A routine blood sample contains a diverse collection of immune cells that can reveal important clues about health and disease. These cells, known as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), are widely used to study infections, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and the immune system's response to treatment.
