A Swiss research team has developed a novel single-step annealing process for tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) solar cells. Demonstrating the approach, the scientists built a proof-of-concept ...

The field of cellular immunotherapy has undergone a profound transformation in recent years, with autologous chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies emerging as the standard-of-care option ...

Plant scientists have used a standard "gene gun" since 1988 to genetically modify crops for better yield, nutrition, pest ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells communicate with one another during this process through cell-surface ...

Despite still being considered emerging techniques, single cell and spatial technologies have brought ground-breaking ...

Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have shown how a minimal change in a single ion channel ...

This is a useful study in the role of CHI3L1 in Kupffer cells, the macrophages of the liver, showing that CHI3L1 alters glucose regulation in obesity. Specifically, Chi3l1 protects glucose-dependent ...

From single cells to complex creatures: New study points to origins of animal multicellularity Researchers at UChicago analyze genetic data and protein sequences to find key innovations that ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has greatly expanded our knowledge of gene expression (1 –12).However, while scRNA-seq has been particularly effective at distinguishing cell types (5, 13–17), ...

The goal of scTree is to provide allow biologists to identify a minimal set of genes from single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data that can be used in downstream experiments. While there are already ...

15-year-old Jayden Wilsey is the first patient at Boston Children's Hospital to receive human gene therapy for sickle cell disease. The treatment, Casgevy, modifies the patient's stem cells to ...

To regulate the maintenance and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells, a variety of hydrogels have been developed and applied as two-dimensional (2D) cell culture substrates that can provide ...
