A major challenge in biology is understanding how a single genome can give rise to an organism comprising hundreds of distinct cell types. Much emphasis has been placed on the application of ...

Questions: Pollination is an ecosystem function that varies at local spatial scales. Remote sensing may help to quantify and map the resulting patterns for a better understanding of ecosystem ...

Scientists are one step closer to understanding the 170 billion brain cells that allow us to walk, talk, and think. A newly published atlas offers the most detailed maps yet of the location, structure ...

A new brain-mapping neurotechnology called Single Transcriptome Assisted Rabies Tracing (START) combines two technologies—monosynaptic rabies virus tracing and single-cell transcriptomics—to map the ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...
