Nucleic acid extraction from biological samples is inherently difficult to execute consistently across different tissue types. Some tissue matrices are fibrous, contained in protective cell walls, or ...

Researchers are attempting to uncover the basics of how fat tissue is structured and, specifically, inflammation associated with obesity, in the hopes of unlocking the connection between the ...

A new tissue expansion method enables scientists to use mass spectrometry imaging to simultaneously detect hundreds of molecules at the single cell level in their native locations. For biologists, ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Before the advent of spatial transcriptomic analyses, single-cell RNA sequencing methods largely required that scientists break tissue ...

Researchers often struggle to select which cells to utilize in their research and when to employ them. Cell lines, dissociated tumor cells, and primary cells all have their place in research. While ...

The average adult male has around 36 trillion cells in their body, while average adult females have 28 trillion, researchers have found. Unexpectedly, the mass of small cells in our bodies, such as ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

An international study co-led by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Helmholtz Munich in Germany has uncovered hundreds of genes and proteins likely to play a causal role in ...
